Vegetable Ivory Feather Drop Earrings
Vegetable Ivory Feather Drop Earrings
Adorn yourself with treasures from ancient forests near and far. This collection features vibrant sliced Tagua seeds also known as Vegetable Ivory. The seeds are found in the swampy shadows of the tropical rainforest in South America and the earrings designed/made by Spotted Quoll in Tasmania. All earrings come beautifully presented on a 6 mm recycled cardboard card, making them an amazing gift!
The Tagua seeds are collected by women in rural communities, cleaned, polished and dyed. Over the decades the Tagua seeds have become an important natural resource helping to improve the standard of living in the most impoverished of rural communities - while also protecting the forest in which they grow...saving the planet one bead at a time.
Due to the organic nature of the beads, each pair will vary slightly so expect them to be asymmetrical.
Note: ALL beads are collected from fair trade partners who sustain-ably harvest the vegetable ivory - happy beads!
