TAGUA MID MODERN EARRINGS STATEMENT teal tagua of Ecuador’s Amazon Rainforest

ANDI TAGUA EARRINGS. ANDI is a trendy earring that we recreated in natural tagua and polished to a high shine. Her design is sculpted with thin fluid ovals to give a nod to the iconic mid century modern style. The lightness of Tagua makes her incredibly comfortable to wear, perfect for making a stylish yet subtle statement. These earrings are a piece of wearable art, a blend of function, design, and respect for our environment. TAGUA BELLA is designed by me in collaboration with the talented artisans in my region of Ecuador. Each is artisan-made by hand. TAGUA BELLA is fair-trade, purchased from the maker, and making a difference in their lives. Tagua is a nut from a palm tree, found only in South America. Most is found in Ecuador, in my Manabi region along the coast. It is commonly called vegetable ivory. It is so close in makeup and appearance, it is difficult to distinguish from animal ivory. Gathering the fallen tagua, has many benefits economically and naturally sustains the rainforest. It causes no harm, unlike the cruel world of sourcing animal ivory. Each is unique and will vary slightly from photos. Tagua has natural shapes and sizes. Please allow for slight differences that are not flaws. Don’t miss out on our coordinating necklaces and bracelets. Tagua makes a beautiful gift! Ecuador’s treasure is yours! Muchas Gracias! Hooks are 925 sterling silver plated.
