Do you know Tagua? It's a natural seed from a palm tree, and has the advantage of being a genuine alternative to natural ivory.
The seed is then cut into unique slices, because nature doesn't make two identical seeds!
We love these colorful seeds, ideal for summer jewelry. That's why we're proposing a necklace and a pair of colorful, vitaminized earrings!
Feel free to use other color and shape combinations.
The multicolored Tagua slices necklace
Cut 3 lengths of 50 cm waxed cotton.
Secure the ends with a paper clip, then braid the entire length.
Attach a second paper clip to the other end.
Using brown sewing thread, thread tagua slices through the hole several times, then thread a small seed.
Sew the whole onto the cotton braid, starting in the center with the red slice.
Sew the large orange slices, then the pink ones, alternating until the end, leaving a 3-stitch gap in the cotton braid.
Remove the paper clips, cut the wires and then use pliers to crush the clamping tips onto the cotton on both sides. Put a double ring on each end.
Close the necklace with a T-clasp.
Tagua slice earrings
Superimpose a small pink slice on a large orange slice, passing an open ring through it, then another smaller ring through the earring holder.
