Key Features Hand carved design Colour - blue Material - Tagua Sterling silver posts Dimension - 3 cm x 3 cm These stud earrings are skilfully hand carved from Tagua. The beautiful pair is the result of a truly international collaboration between artisans in fair trade workshops in Ecuador and Peru. Tagua is a nut from a type of palm that grows in the South American jungle. Often known as vegetable ivory, it is a sustainable and environmentally sound alternative to animal ivory. It is a natural, organic material and the undyed products may darken slightly over time, this is normal. If your Tagua jewellery is looking a bit dull it can be buffed up with a soft white cotton cloth. A pop of colour!
