Tagua Nut Red Heart Pendant

If you both love the rain forest and keeping animal ivory on real animals where it belongs, you'll love our hand carved Tagua Red Heart Pendant from Ecuador.

Tagua nut, a renewable rain forest 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.

• Pendant measures 1 1/2 inches x 1 1/2 inches x 18 inches long
• Red color is achieved by boiling and other natural techniques that enhance the nut's natural beauty

Handmade in Ecuador and fair trade imported.
