Tagua Earrings with Textured Stud posts

These earrings are one of a kind piece of jewelry. They’re lightweight, ecofriendly and handmade! The Tagua Nut is a renewable and sustainable resource from the rainforests of South America. The production of these nuts provides jobs for thousands of people providing them with a better life for their families. The production also reduces deforestation since these trees will not be cut down because they provide income for so many people. Yet another plus to the Tagua Nut, is it’s common nickname; ‘vegetable ivory’ because the color and texture are so similar to elephant ivory. In fact, one tagua palm can grow as much ‘vegetable ivory’ as a female elephant produces her entire life.
