What is Tagua?

Tagua (pronounced tah-gwa) is the seed of the Phytelephas aequatorialis palm tree, native to the tropical rainforests of South America. When dried, this remarkable nut becomes exceptionally hard, dense, and smooth, closely resembling animal ivory in look, weight, and texture—earning it the name Vegetable Ivory.

100% Cruelty-Free: A completely organic, botanical replacement for elephant ivory.

Forest-Positive Harvesting: Tagua nuts are gathered only after they naturally fall to the forest floor, ensuring no trees are cut down and rainforest canopies remain intact.

Botanical Dyes: Each piece is infused with rich, eco-friendly pigments—from coastal cobalt and emerald greens to warm terracottas and vivid magenta—highlighting the natural grain of every seed.are a distinctive jewelry studio dedicated to creating beautifully handcrafted pieces inspired by timeless vintage designs. Each creation is carefully made with attention to detail, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern elegance. Our goal is to deliver jewelry that reflects quality, uniqueness, and lasting beauty for every special moment.
