A whole dried tagua seed is sliced and then laser cut to a perfect heart shape, then it's polished and dyed black. These black heart earrings are sustainable, organic, and vegan, pure vegetable ivory (Tagua seeds)
When ripe, tagua seeds are harvested and sun-dried, losing all their moisture to 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 Florama's natural jewelry.
