ESME TAGUA NECKLACE

ESME TAGUA NECKLACE. Esme is an artisan design I fell in love with at first sight. I gave it my touch. I love a statement necklace and Esme hits just right. I love her big open slices of tagua, linked together, ready for your favorite tunic or maxi dress. Esme turns heads and makes a statement. What do your accessories say? She has matching earrings available too! 

Option 1 is on a macrame slide adjustable cord. Option 2 with color front and back is not adjustable, but rather has small beads all around the back. Both choices are excellent. 

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.
