Tagua Bracelets – where stylish meets socially responsible
Our Fair Trade Tagua jewelry is made from nuts found within the seed pods (cabezas) of the Ivory Nut Palm (Phytelophas aequatorialis), a native species of the Colombian rainforest. Tagua is known as the “Ivory of the Rainforest” for its durability and beauty.
The collection of this natural product helps provide incentive to protect and maintain the rainforest.
Each Fair Trade bracelet is made by economically disadvantaged women artisans and their families – you can feel proud wearing this beautiful item knowing it is changing and improving lives.
