PAIGE TAGUA NECKLACE

Adjustable length. Artisan handmade with love and sustainable materials. Tagua Bella, lux tagua jewelry of Ecuador. *earrings/bracelet sold separately

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. Beads are generally acai nut, gathered and prepared in the same way as tagua, often sold interchangeably as tagua.

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. Each is unique and will vary slightly from photos. Tagua has natural shapes and sizes. Please allow for slight differences that are not flaws.

Stay full of life, full of color. And keep spreading the tagua love! xo, Amber
