As society is becoming more and more environmentally conscious, we are looking for alternatives to traditional products which are more environmentally friendly. Whether that be an alternative to a plastic bag or alternative to jewelry. Below is some information about seeds used in artisan jewelry, which have been used for centuries in South America.
Vegetal Ivory is also referred to as corozo. Vegetal Ivory comes from the Tagua nut species found in the equatorial tropics of the South American rain forest and also in the Caribbean. When nut is dried out it can be carved into an ivory replica. Vegetal Ivory is the perfect substitute for ivory, as it saves the lives of the African elephants, and stimulates the growth of the South American and Caribbean economies. You can see corozo seed jewelry and tagua nut jewelry at Pangea-Collection.com in the Caribbean Artisan Jewelry Collection and the Ecuadorian Artisan Jewelry Collection.
