Handmade Tagua Statement, nine crescent shaped fragment cascade Earrings on stainless steel ear hooks. Materials: Tagua, or "vegetable ivory," comes from palm seeds native to the Amazon rainforest. These sustainable nuts are harvested, air-dried, then shaped and dyed into unique eco-fashion pieces. A renewable, biodegradable alternative to ivory, Tagua embodies the future of conscious jewelry design. About our Collections: Our fair trade jewelry and accessories are handcrafted by master artisans using sustainable materials like Tagua seeds, Iraca-Toquilla palm fiber, upcycled wood, clay, and eco-conscious metals. As a Fair Trade Federation member, Belart preserves traditional techniques, supports artisan communities with fair employment, and ensures all pieces are lead, nickel, and cadmium-free.
