Handmade tagua jewelry…exotic seeds, seashells, coconut and much more!!

It’s really interesting to know how Tagua jewelry is made, since it take several month from the moment they collect the tagua, until the moment the product it’s made and ready to sell.

The tagua nut is a dried seed from the tagua palm tree, which grows in tropical rain forests of South America (Ecuador, Colombia, Peru and Brazil).

The tagua nut comes in a fruit that carries multiples nuts. Each nut has a shell that contains the seed. This seed is the size of a chicken egg and is covered in a thin brown skin.

The nuts are sun-dried for 4 to 6 months before they can be worked with. Once dried, tagua can be polished to a bright shine. Tagua’s natural color is white but it is easily to dye and can be found in a wide range of colors.

Tagua jewelry is not only unique, colorful and exotic but really affordable. I have had so much success making and selling products made of tagua and now I am introducing also products made of other kind of seeds, beans, coconut, shells and much more.

Nature inspires me and that is why all my jewelry is made of natural products and handmade. I hope you can take a look you will totally love it.
