Cielo necklace

Our Price
£19.75

Available in four colours: scarlet, wine, aqua and lime.

Smooth and tactile tagua nut necklace. 

Also known as vegetable ivory due to its hardness and satiny sheen, tagua nut jewellery is crafted by Colombian artisans from the nut of a local tree.  The nuts have to harden for up to three years before they become resilient enough to take the polish required.

 

This necklace has a cunning sliding fastener to allow easy adjustment of the length.  This allows it to be altered to suit different necklines and styles.
