Tagua Necklaces: a responsible choice for eco warriors everywhere. Necklaces made from tagua (aka “vegetable ivory”), offer two environmentally friendly benefits. Since tagua looks and feels like real ivory, the tagua necklaces help to devalue elephant ivory and reduce hunting. Equally, tagua derives from the seeds of palm trees in tropical South American rainforests, so it adds incentive to preserve these vital ecosystems.
Responsible fashion designers and handmade jewellery makers such as Olga Margarita have demanded tagua as a material more and more in recent years. Commercial buyers and consumers can each play a role in the conservation of our planet. In fact, vegetable ivory has been around for over 100 years, but it has never been more desirable than now.
Olga Margarita, tagua necklaces are available on the Latest Sale site in a range of colourful designs. Each necklace is delivered in an elegant silver coloured branded designer jewellery box.
