Tagua

Good news for the Amazon rainforest and elephants! We are very proud to present our new range of jewellery made from Tagua, the fruit of the Tagua palm that grows naturally in the jungle regions of Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia and Colombia. This palm tree’s scientific name (Phytelephas) means “elephant plant” because its fruit hardens to resemble ivory. It can be carved and dyed and used to make jewellery, ornaments, buttons and even bagpipes!
