Tagua Beaded Necklace

Featuring sustainably harvested tagua nut, also known as “vegetable ivory,” tagua is produced by a palm-like tree in South America. The nuts fall to the ground when mature, so harvesting doesn’t damage the trees. This beaded necklace was handcrafted by makers of Maquita. Maquita works with more than one hundred craft workshops in Ecuador providing marketing, production and design assistance to over 600 artisans.

Material: tagua nut beads, cord
