Tagua Bracelet (#9)

Price: $39.95


 


Also called ivory nut or vegetable ivory, these are the nuts of the Tagua palm tree (Phytelephas macrocarpa) that grow in tropical rainforests. Other palms of the same sub subfamily also produce ivory nuts. The size of the seed varies from the size of a cherry to a tennis ball, the average size being that of a plum. The nut has a dark brown, barklike skin.

This bracelet is composed of square shaped pieces of tagua nut set on an elasticized band. It measures 1.5" wide.
