Description
The Just Trade Tagua Hoop Studs are both an on-trend and also understated pair of handmade fair trade earrings in stylish navy blue.
Artisans carve these Just Trade small hooped earrings from a tagua nut. The seed is from a type of palm that grows in the South American rainforests. This type of nut is also sometimes known as vegetable ivory.
A tagua nut is an environmentally friendly and sustainable alternative to animal ivory because it is hard and long-lasting. These earrings are ethically made by hand in Ecuador by the MYA group. Additionally, each pair of earrings comes with some information about the makers of your earrings.
A thoughtful caring gift for a loved one.
