This necklace is made with Tagua "vegetable ivory" slices and can be adjusted to your liking. In case you're wondering, Tagua is often referred to as "vegetable ivory" or "ivory nut" in English. It comes from the Tagua palm tree, which grows in the humid and tropical climates of northwestern South America. The tree produces fruit multiple times a year, and inside the fruit are seedpods containing clusters of seeds. These seeds are collected and dried over several weeks, creating a sturdy material with a natural color and texture similar to ivory. Tagua is a versatile and captivating material that can be shaped into a variety of designs. Indigenous people treasured it for its natural energy and believed that wearing it would bring harmony and love from their surroundings.
*Please note: since our Latino Accessories jewellery is made from natural seeds, slight color variations may occur, making each piece truly one-of-a-kind!
