A whole dried tagua seed is drilled through its center to create these fabulous tagua rings. Bold, chunky and naturally beautiful, a true eco-chic statement that never goes out of style. The ring’s texture is very smooth, just like ivory but botanical. Being a natural product all rings differ from one another–there are no two identical pieces–making them truly unique pieces of jewelry. Our tagua rings are sustainable, organic, vegan and biodegradable: 100% vegetable ivory (Tagua seeds). When ripe, tagua seeds are harvested and dried for 6 to 9 months. After losing all their moisture they become rock solid resembling ivory in color, texture and hardness, hence their nickname: “Vegetable Ivory”. At this point the hard seeds can be polished, dyed, cut and shaped into beautiful beads that become Muichic’s natural jewelry.
