BONITA TAGUA NECKLACE. Available with a fixed length braided with button close or adjustable length with suede cord. She is named after my mom, Bonita is very special. She boasts my favorite mixed media look with various shapes, sizes and colors. We designed her layers to drape on one another for a cool modern look. Our artisans strung up some gorgeous neutrals and a few with fun bright colors! We only have a few. Don’t miss out. 

Tagua can be found in the best boutiques to add an organic, earthy vibe to all your looks. Our various shapes, sizes and colors can be styled to fit any look from coastal preppy to cool boho. TAGUA BELLA is designed by me in collaboration with the talented artisans in my region of Ecuador. Each is artisan-made by hand. TAGUA BELLA is fair-trade, purchased from the maker, and making a difference in their lives.  

Tagua is a nut from a palm tree, found only in South America. Most is found in Ecuador, in my Manabi region along the coast. It is commonly called vegetable ivory. It is so close in makeup and appearance, it is difficult to distinguish from animal ivory. Gathering the fallen tagua, has many benefits economically and naturally sustains the rainforest. It causes no harm, unlike the cruel world of sourcing animal ivory. Our beads are the nut of açaí  berries, commonly referred to and sold as tagua. Like tagua, açaí is a nut from a palm tree, found in South America’s equatorial rainforests.

Each is unique and will vary slightly from photos. Tagua has natural shapes and sizes. Please allow for slight differences that are not flaws. We hand check each piece for quality and offer a 100% Happiness Guarantee.
