A fringe of yellow rectangular tagua chips with rind on the edges hangs from a steel wire. Two small tagua beads enclose the fringe at the front, and another two finish it off at the back, It is adjustable for versatility. All the beads used are sustainable, organic, vegan and biodegradable: 100% vegetable ivory (Tagua seeds). This tagua necklace is fair trade and ethically handmade in Colombia, Muichic Natural Jewelry is a proud member of the Fair Trade Federation. When ripe, tagua seeds are harvested and dried for 6 to 9 months. After losing all their moisture they become rock solid resembling ivory in color, texture and hardness, hence their nickname: “Vegetable Ivory”. At this point the hard seeds can be polished, dyed, cut and shaped into beautiful beads that become Muichic’s natural jewelry.
