Jewelry with Tagua

Tagua Pendants
All of these pendants were hand-carved using a jeweler's saw frame and tiny saw blades. The process begins with a single hole drilled into the material -- the saw blade is slipped through the hole and attatched to the saw blade, and carving can begin. More complex designs require additional holes to be drilled. Each of these pendants has a piece of wire attached for hanging on the necklace or chain of your choosing. We also hope to offer leather necklaces in the near future for stringing pendants. |

Carved Tagua Necklaces
Tagua, also known as vegetable ivory, is an essential element in Ecuadorian handicrafts. To learn more about tagua, click here. All of these necklaces are woven with super-strong Brazilian "Fio Encerado," a polyester blend originally created for leatherwork. In addition to never fraying or unraveling, the thread also does not fade for years, literally, and regardless of how much sun or water you expose it to -- Roberto's been wearing the same Fio Encerado anklet for five years and it still hasn't worn out. |
