The Tagua Nut Collection

The Tagua (tah-gwa) is a palm tree that grows in the tropical rainforests of South America. The nuts range in size from a cherry to a grapefruit and are similar to animal ivory in texture, hardness and color. The Tagua nut processing involves drying, polishing, cutting or slicing and then it is dyed.

There are various ways the Tagua nuts can be strung.

There is the long necklace using 6 different colored 'triangles' and a large nut.

There is the short necklace, using 5 large nuts, then the mini, using 3 triangles and one large.

They are all threaded with knots on a waxed cord.

These Tagua Nut necklaces are becoming very popular, especially with Moms with little kids as they are pretty indestructible!
