Lovely red bracelet made from square tagua seeds.

Size - 6 cm internal diameter (approx)

This 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.

We sourced this item direct from Otavalo in Ecuador through a company called Latin Colours. The artisans are known personally to us and we ensure they have suitable pay and working conditions.

Please note, due to the natural, handmade nature of this product, patterns will vary slightly.

We love this stuff! The fruit of the tagua palm becomes like ivory when left to harden and can be carved, dyed and polished into gorgeous jewellery like this bracelet. In this range the tagua has been cut into discs and combined with ribbon to give it a very contemporary look.
