Lovely pink bracelet made from square tagua seeds.

Size - 6 cm internal diameter (approx)

This pink bracelet is made of tagua nuts from the tagua palm. When picked and left to dry for three months, the tagua nuts become very hard and dense with a similar structure to ivory. In one year the tagua palm produces the same amount of 'ivory' as one female elephant. In addition to protecting animals, tagua products help to preserve tropical rainforests by providing a sustainable income for the local population.
