Forest Pool EarringsPRINT THIS PAGE

SKU# 6301160

The cool teal green of a forest pool, rimmed in brown. Sliced tagua nut shapes these eco-friendly earrings. Match them with our Forest Pool Necklace. From Sapia in Colombia.

Also known as “vegetable ivory,” tagua is produced by a palm-like tree in South America. The nuts fall to the ground when mature, thus harvesting does not damage the trees. Tagua nut’s grain is close and very hard, resembling the finest ivory. Artisans carve each nut individually into the desired form. Cultural tradition and forest preservation combine in the use of this renewable resource.
