About Galapagos Tagua

At Galapagos Tagua, we believe in the power of nature and community. Founded by Alejandra Henao, our mission is to bring the beauty of tagua—often called "vegetable ivory"—to the world. This unique material, sourced from palm tree seeds in Ecuador's rainforests, offers a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to animal ivory, while helping protect wildlife. Our handcrafted jewelry is made by skilled artisans, and by supporting us, you're empowering local communities in Ecuador. Every purchase helps preserve both their traditions and the environment. Discover our collection and join us in creating a greener, more compassionate future.Read their story
