Tagua Vegan Animal Keychain Hand-crafted in Ecuador

Description

Hand-crafted, Natural Animal-Shaped Tagua Keychain

Tagua is a palm-like tree that grows throughout South America, most commonly in Ecuador. It is known as “vegetable ivory”; it is a cruelty-free mineral. The tag nut hardens and thickens as the tree starts to grow, growing in size inside its’ pod. Once the seeds are picked, they are laid to dry in the sun. Once dried, they are polished and carved; resulting in a smooth, shiny textured bead.
