JUNO NECKLACE

Juno is named after Juno Beach in Palm Beach, Florida. We first moved to Juno and spent a lot of time enjoying the beach deep with shells. This shell is carved from the tagua nut of the Amazon Rainforest. It looks so much like a real shell!  She’s so light and easy to wear.  She’s the perfect, timeless resort wear accessory. 

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.
