Tagua Band Ring

These colorful rings are handcrafted from tagua nut - a sustainable addition to any outfit! Tagua is an ivory-like nut harvested from palm trees indigenous to the South American countryside. As an alternative to ivory, it helps to discourage poaching and prevents deforestation, while creating employment opportunities for farmers and artisans. Our fair trade partner Minga Fair Trade Imports works directly with artisans in Peru, Ecuador, Brazil and Bangladesh. "Minga” is a Quechuan word meaning a group of people gathered to accomplish a task that benefits the community as a whole.
