About Tagua: The pieces of our Necklaces are sliced from a Tagua nut. The tagua palm, family of the coconut palm tree (Phytelephas macrocarpa or Phytelephas aequatorialis) grows in the amazon region of Peru, Brasil, Colombia and Ecuador. It produces one of the most interesting of all seeds due to its extreme hardness and similarity to ivory.
After harvesting, the seeds are allowed to dry for 3 months during which time they become very hard and dense.
About Acai Seed: Acai palm grows in the amazon jungle. Amazonian people have used it from pre-Columbian times for a variety of purposes one of these being jewelry. The dried acai seeds are designed into pretty necklaces, earrings, bracelets and ornamentals. Acai fruit is currently gaining popularity in markets world wide because of its diversity.
