Artisanal Handcrafted Tagua Nut Coconut shells

Please see what raw tagua looks like in the photos provided. The natural color of the seeds is creme color. Natural organic dyes from plants, flowers, berries and insects are used to give tagua chips all kinds of colors.

Every 7 years female tagua tree produces seeds, which are dried, peeled and  heavy husk covering the seeds is removed. Then the nuts are sliced into various shapes, dyed with organic dyes, holes are drilled in each chip and artisan jewelers buy them in various colors to assemble them into jewelry.
