Tagua necklace pendant

Tagua nuts - treasures of the rainforest

The tagua nut is the seed of the South American ivory palm and is also called "stone nut" because of its hardness. Ivory palms grow up to 15 meters tall and grow in the rainforests of Peru, Brazil, and Colombia, among other places. Because of its strength and smooth surface, the tagua nut is also called "vegetable ivory" and is traditionally used for making everyday objects such as combs and buttons, as well as figurines and jewelry.

Natural craftsmanship

The tagua nut is a completely natural raw material . Tropical palm trees produce an enormous number of fruits, the seeds of which fall to the ground. There, they simply need to be collected without felling or otherwise damaging the trees. Traditional master craftsmen carve the tagua nuts into delicate pendants for us. With skill and patience, they bring out the nut's natural beauty and color .

Environmentally friendly and unique

Jewelry made from tagua nuts is environmentally friendly. Since the harvesting takes place without felling trees, the natural forest structure is preserved. The pendants are also biodegradable. Each tagua nut has its own unique grain and color . This natural variation makes each pendant unique and a special accessory that reflects the beauty of nature.

Culture and tradition

The production of tagua jewelry has a long tradition in South American cultures. It is an expression of respect for nature and a artisanal heritage passed down from generation to generation.

Protects the lungs of our planet

The sale of tagua nuts and the jewelry and decorative items made from them provides a reliable source of income for the rainforest's inhabitants and is an important alternative to working for oil and timber companies. This way, they are not forced to destroy their forest and thus their own livelihoods, but are instead encouraged to protect and preserve their environment.

The use of tagua nuts instead of ivory not only protects elephants in Africa, but also contributes to the preservation of the Amazon rainforest, the lungs of our planet.
