PALMA EARRINGS - Handmade - 24K gold-plated - Tagua (vegetable ivory), cultured pearls
Estimated delivery date in Europe (Day/Month): 00/00 - 00/00
Our PALMA earrings are handcrafted by experienced Colombian artisans using tagua (vegetable ivory), a rock-hard seed from a palm tree endemic to the pacific coast of South America. This exceptional material, scientifically named Phytelephas (elephant plant), matures from a liquid state into a solid, highly resilient, and creamy-white substance that is remarkably durable and closely resembles ivory. Its unique qualities allow it to be carved into various objects, polished, and dyed. These characteristics make tagua an ideal, sustainable, and ethical substitute to animal ivory. In Colombia, its harvest doesn't harm the trees and stimulates local economies, being used in jewelry, buttons, and ornaments, while also serving as a significant alternative to deforestation for farming. The earrings feature a 24K gold-plated pewter top with a cataphoretic lacquer finish for lasting radiance and durability, accented with small cultured pearls.
