The tagua nut was first used for the making of buttons, and was specially used in the buttons of uniforms during World War II. With the invention of platics and more cheaper options than wood and nuts the industry of tagua buttons got extincted. But resurged again in the 90s with our desire to find healthy and more earth friendly options than plastic. Now we have tagua nut jewelry, and I have been creating with this media since 2009.
