HAND CRAFTED TAGUA NUT NECKLACE VEGETABLE IVORY ONE OF A KIND ART 36” 9/16/25

This is a hand made Tagua nut necklace, which is a type of eco-friendly jewelry made from the seeds of the Tagua palm tree, primarily found in South American rainforests. Tagua nuts are often referred to as "vegetable ivory" due to their resemblance to animal ivory in terms of appearance, density, and feel. They serve as an ethical and sustainable alternative to animal ivory, contributing to wildlife conservation efforts. Tagua nuts are harvested after they naturally fall from the palm trees, ensuring no harm to the trees or the rainforest ecosystem.
The nuts are dried, carved, and polished, often dyed with organic colors, and then crafted into various products, including jewelry like this necklaces. Tagua nut necklaces are handmade and produced under fair trade principles, supporting artisans in communities where the Tagua palm trees grow. Each Tagua nut possesses a unique grain and shape, resulting in one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces. Unique one of a kind piece
