Tagua nut jewelry making is an indigenous tradition from the Amazon Rainforest area. Most people refer to tagua nuts as vegetable ivory. Jewelry artisans like tagua for a few different reasons. It is easier to work with than other types of nuts and does not require any special tools in order to carve it. It can also be carved into beautiful jewelry pieces without losing the natural beauty of the nut itself. Many artisans will dye the nuts in order to make interesting-looking jewelry pieces, but it can also be left its natural color, which is ivory-like. Once the desired forms are achieved, the artisan starts to smooth the surface of the nut with sandpaper. Finally, the artisan starts to craft by carving and sculpting each nut. Tagua is an exceptional medium for turning into jewelry because its color, weight, and texture are very similar to ivory.
