Tagua Nut Red Raindrop Pendant Hand Carved in Ecuador Fair Trade Import

Tagua nut red raindrop pendant hand carved in Ecuador. The Red color is achieved by boiling and other natural techniques that enhance the nut's natural beauty. Pendant measures 1 1/2 inches x 1 1/2 inches x 18 1/2 inches long.

Tagua nut, a renewable rainforest seed that grows from the Amazon's Tagua Palm Tree, is widely regarded as vegetable ivory for its likeness to real animal ivory, but with animal and habitat-friendly properties. With the growing scarcity of animal ivory, Tagua has become a highly valued commodity by artisans and consumers alike.

Handmade in Ecuador and fair trade imported.
