Thin slices of Colombian tagua nut, dyed orange and brown, form overlapping wafers in this striking necklace. Matching earrings feature a single piece of orange tagua. Strung on a beaded brown cord.

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.
