TAGUA BLACK ONIX SET 2 pc, MARBLE BIG TAGUA BEADS OR NUTS AND PLAQUES
This shiny black, onix type jewelry set in Tagua is very appealing and special. One tagua nut was required for carve each big bead and the pendant plaque. The earrings are delicate black buttons of tagua. Long necklace hits a bust level and its length is adaptable, ties with adjustable rope closure.
Everything is tagua, necklace is the perfect match for turtle necks sweaters and V necks, and will give your neutral winter clothes a sophisticated look. Perfect present for yourself or for somebody who loves unique jewelry.
This set demanded a lot of work or steps:
1. Carve the tagua nuts, 2. string the collar, 3. Marmolite it to give it its "antique look" and recover the natural nut texture and finally ,
4. Fry the tagua to give it golden translucid shine. That is why this is one of the priciest Tagua sets I have on Ebay.
Tagua is a "green or ecological" material or nut and comes from the "elephant plant" which grows in the Tropical or coastal lowlands in Ecuador. It is dyed and handcarved in the production of jewelry, belts, buttons and sculptures. Its production is the way of living of thousands of artisans, ethnic indian groups and colones living in the tropical Ecuador rainforest.
Besides the social meaning of the tagua, it has a ecological value, it is saving the lives of elephant and rhinos unfairly hunted a cause of their ivory and the Tagua nut tree conservation, means less tropical forrest is being cut in order to open land for cattle and banana plantations.
A study of professor Armstrong from Palomar College in California shows the Amazon forrest between Colombia, Peru, Brasil and Ecuador is being devastated in an alarming rate of 50 acres per minute.
It may very well that vegetable ivory, a green an eco conscience product, could help curb rainforest degradation and economic poverty in several populations in the Coastal provinces of Ecuador.
