Tagua Ensemble - Necklace & Earrings (#2)
Price: $85.00
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 ensemble includes a necklace and earrings composed of multicolored pieces of tagua nut. The necklace is adjustable from 13" to 29".
