Wholesale Tagua Necklace Coins Handmade Fairtrade Lightweight

This beautiful necklace consists of a single column of five tagua coins hanging from a thin cotton cord. Another coin on the cord rests on the collarbone, and a final coin at the nape of the neck, which can be slid up or down to adjust its length. The cord finish off in the back with a small tassel held by an acai seed. A playful and uncommon design. These tagua beads are sustainable, organic, vegan and biodegradable: 100% vegetable ivory (Tagua seeds). This tagua necklace is fair trade and ethically handmade in Colombia, Muichic Natural Jewelry is a proud member of the Fair Trade Federation. 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.
