Tastefully striking, these colorful necklaces are an eye-catching and eco-friendly way to add a bold, geometric element to any outfit. Reminiscent of glossy ivory, each flat "bead" is carved from sustainable tagua, commonly referred to as "vegetable ivory" for its likeness in bulk and texture. This unique material is environmentally friendly, helps curb illegal elephant poaching, prevents deforestation, and allows local, Ecuadorian artisans to make a living from the collection and processing of the seeds. These hand-dyed, hexagonal pendants are threaded together into a bold bib that evokes the sweet shape of honeycomb. Each necklace is connected with two fabric straps that are carefully woven on rustic, hand-operated wooden looms, which are native to the highlands of Ecuador. Handmade in Ecuador.
- Item ID: 23023
- Materials: waxed cotton, tagua nut, acrylic thread
- Bib: 7" L x 3.25" H; Total Woven Strap: 30" L
- Due to the properties of the natural materials, avoid exposure to water. Wipe clean with dry or barely damp cloth.

It would be nice to see someone wearing it. It would give me an idea just how large it is. A scale referance. But I believe that all my nieces would love these. Maybe even one of my nephews as he's gay.

These styles are everywhere and the thick black fabric on this design really distracts from what could be pretty.

I really like the colors and the design but I don't like how it looks stitched together. Especially the turquoise one. It reminds me of Frankenstein's monster.

Great product story that didn't translate to appealing jewelry. Looks a bit dollar-store-ish.

The stitching really detracts from the otherwise elegant lines making it look like a grade school art project.

I love the product story and concept but I really don't like the black fabric straps that hold them together. I don't mind the stitching because it makes it more rustic but the fabric makes it look immature.

Love the idea to curb illegal elephant poaching. Also, being a gay male does not mean they like more feminine items, I would check with his parents or even ask him yourself if such a gift would be appropriate.
