Example: Tagua nut jewelry

Jewelry made of a seed does not seem so elegant, but there are some beautiful pieces.Tagua comes from a palm tree that grows in my community. It is called “vegetable ivory”; it is very similar to the ivory that people take from elephants. The best part of tagua is that no plant or animal gets hurt and you can create wonderful pieces of jewelry. My favorite piece is a colorful necklace that I have had for years and goes well with almost all my clothing. I also have a pair of earrings which are absolutely wonderful. I really like tagua jewelry and I am sure I will get more pieces
