TAGUA
Seed -fruit

Green Age  uses only the finest natural materials, mainly palms seeds and fibers. The main component in all collections is the Tagua Nut, also known as vegetable Ivory. This nut is actually the seed of the Phythelephas Macrocarpa  palm that grows near the Colombian Pacific coast.   Its creamy color, density and hardness make the Tagua Nut an eco-friendly substitute for actual ivory and is one of the few materials that becomes more beautiful with age.

Each nut needs to be dried for up to five years, it is then sanded, cut, dyed, and polished to produce the final design. We only use natural and environmentally friendly pigments for dying the Tagua nut.
