Tagua Nut Earrings

These earrings are fashion forward, eco-friendly and fair trade.

Tagua, also known as vegetable ivory, is the nut of a palm tree that grows in the Amazons. This nut can be cut and molded into different shapes and dyed in a variety of different colors, and is replacing the use of mammal ivory in the fashion industry. The commercialization of products like Tagua helps to ensure the survival of the world's biggest rainforests by providing an alternative income for their inhabitants.
