What is tagua?  Tagua is a natural, sustainable material that comes from a type of palm tree found in Ecuador, Colombia and other countries.  After it has been shaped and polished, tagua resembles animal ivory and is often referred to as "vegetable ivory."  The production of tagua contributes to the preservation of the tropical rainforest and the livelihood of the indigenous people living there.  The tagua beads used in Sharon Cipriano Jewelry were commissioned and collected by Sharon during her extensive travels in Ecuador.
