Tagua: An elegant and natural seed

2011-05-11T11:55:00.000-07:00

Tagua: vegetable ivory

A very special plant known as “tagua” (Phytelephas seemannii, Phytelephas macrocarpa) or vegetable ivory grows in the thick tropical rainforests of Colombia. This unattractive looking thorny palm has an average height of five to six meters and takes 15 years to begin to bear fruit. From then on, the plant yields three harvests per year.

The Tagua Nut

In its natural state, the tagua is similar to a nut called “mococha” and is full of seeds. It is hard, smooth, opaque, and bone-colored, and its texture resembles ivory. The nut requires between 6 and 12 months to ripen, during which the seed becomes harder, acquires its final thickness, and its color changes from white to light ochre. The ripe nut measures between three and six cm in length.

Characteristics of the Tagua Nut

The features that identify the quality of this vegetable raw material and make it such an esteemed product are its hardness and the similarity of its color to animal ivory.

Tagua: uses and products

The tagua began to be exploited in colonial times when the Spanish settled on the American continent. Since the very first contact of the foreigners with the plant, the tagua nut was used for making buttons, umbrella and walking stick handles, napkin holders, combs, chess pieces, piano keys, letter openers, and other utensils.
Centuries later, the invention of plastics did away with the popularity of tagua. And high quality items began to be made from animal ivory.

Let’s save the elephants by using tagua!

Thanks to the cries of ecologists, in recent years natural materials begin to assert themselves again over artificial materials, and the tagua of Colombian rainforests turns out to be the salvation of elephants.
Present world trends to conserve the environment and the prohibition of hunting elephants and rhinoceroses for their ivory forced great European and North American designers like Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, and Versace to turn to natural materials for their collections. This is why the tagua has ceased to be a humble palm tree to become a valuable product in world markets.

Tagua handicrafts in Colombia

Tagua is similar to animal ivory because of its hardness and color

Colombian artisans are experts in the manufacture of veritable jewels. The greatest tagua artists come from Chiquinquirá, a city famous for its cathedral and miraculous virgin, located three hours from Bogotá, in the department of Boyacá. The Chiquinquirá artists specialize in decorative miniatures (chess pieces, nativity scene figurines), several of which are in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Nowadays, Colombian artists use this material for making all kinds of decorative items: bracelets, picture frames, letter openers, figurines, and accessories like earrings, necklaces, and bracelets that attract the attention of women from around the world. (from www.colombia.travel/en/)

There's something so refreshing about a new year. As the beginning of 2011 is in full swing, many of us contemplate the year that has passed and look forward to a new 365 days filled with hope and new opportunities.
Practicing an old Cuban tradition, my mom takes a bucket of water at midnight, opens the front door and dumps the water out of the bucket to symbolize a welcome to a new year with a fresh clean start. I like to make a list of goals for the New Year and one of my ongoing goals is to pay more attention to environmental issues and gradually make any changes I can to contribute to the health of our planet.
With the drop of the ball in New York City's Time Square, the chimes of London's Big Ben, the water swept over Buddha statues in the Far East, and the flap of saffron colored flags outside of homes in Maharashtra, I welcome 2011 with open arms and challenge you to take a step further with me!

The use of seeds in making jewelry and body ornaments has been in practice for thousands of years. Back in my home country, Colombia, and in particular in cities like Bogotá, beautiful necklaces, bracelets and key chains made with chocos (huayruros), achiras (chirilla), bombona (pambil) and chumbimba (jabon) seeds are commonly found on the streets as they are sold by street vendors and beggars. Unfortunately, the beauty of the craft is often lost due to the conditions that bring these artisans to the city. Many of these street artisans and beggars are indigenous men and women, and farmers that have been displaced from their rural homes because of threats or killings carried out by FARC rebels in their communities ... to read more.

Nov 15 - America Recycles Days

2010-11-09T18:00:00.000-08:00

America Recycles Day is next Monday and it's a good time for all of us to renew our vows to recycle. And not just because it's good for the planet! Here's the top 10 reasons why recycling makes so much…

1. Good For Our Economy American companies rely on recycling programs to provide the raw materials they need to make new products.
2. Creates Jobs Recycling in the U.S. is a $236 billion a year industry. More than 56,000 recycling and reuse enterprises employ 1.1 million workers nationwide.
3. Reduces Waste The average American discards seven and a half pounds of garbage every day. Most of this garbage goes into to landfills, where it's compacted and buried.
4. Good For The Environment
Recycling requires far less energy, uses fewer natural resources, and keeps waste from piling up in landfills.
5. Saves Energy
Recycling offers significant energy savings over manufacturing with virgin materials. (Manufacturing with recycled aluminum cans uses 95% less energy.)
6. Preserves Landfill Space No one wants to live next door to a landfill. Recycling preserves existing landfill space.
7. Prevents Global Warming
In 2000, recycling of solid waste prevented the release of 32.9 million metric tons of carbon equivalent (MMTCE, the unit of measure for greenhouse gases) into the air.
8. Reduces Water Pollution
Making goods from recycled materials generates far less water pollution than manufacturing from virgin materials.
9. Protects Wildlife
Using recycled materials reduces the need to damage forests, wetlands, rivers and other places essential to wildlife.
10. Creates New Demand
Recycling and buying recycled products creates demand for more recycled products, decreasing waste and helping our economy.

Most jewelry is from the Earth — silver, gold, diamonds, emeralds…all gifts from nature. But nature provides all kinds of materials that can be made into beautiful jewelry besides those that sparkle. One company had to just look underfoot to find materials for their collection, Knots and Stones. Knots and Stones jewelry is made from seeds found on the rainforest floor in South America — everything from Acai, Tagua (vegetable ivory), Chirilla and other seeds. The result is an eco-friendly collection perfect for the socially-conscious woman on a budget. Now that’s a mouthful and so apropo as even eco and budget conscious women want to look good!

People often ask us about the seeds we use and how they become the beautiful, colorful accessories we promote. In particular, people are curious about the Tagua Nut. If you visit one of our shows or fairs, you will get an overview of the seeds and the process, however, we want all of our fans to have an insight into the process. As we all know, a picture speaks a thousand words, so, we got a video to share with you!!! One of our partners, Alfredo Medellin, has provided us with this video, which shows the process by which the Tagua Nut is converted into beautiful and colorful "beads" that are used to make some of K&S's products.
We hope you enjoy it!
