Playful, fun, and full of color, these dangle tagua tassel earrings are handmade with small bits of tagua nut which hang from four cotton strings. Surgical steel findings. The colors of the tagua bits are turquoise, green, purple, red, and orange. A fun and uncommon accessory that goes well with any outfit. All the tagua beads used are sustainable, organic, and vegan, pure vegetable ivory (Tagua seeds).
When ripe, tagua seeds are harvested and sun-dried. 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 Florama's natural jewelry.
