Tagua Necklace (#5)
Price: $68.00
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 necklace is composed of crescent shaped pieces of tagua nut. It's length is adjustable from 12" to 35".
