This versatile Colombian Seed jewelry piece can be worn as either a necklace or a bracelet. Measuring 34 inches, it can be worn doubly around the throat or coiled around the wrist. Strung with round Tagua seeds in a rich burgundy, square Tagua seeds in a vibrant turquoise and oval bean seeds in their natural state, this Convertible Colombian Seed Necklace and Bracelet is a feast for the eyes.
The tropical rainforests of Northwest South America harbor Macrocarpa and Phytelepas Seemanmi palms from which the Tagua seed is cultivated. Given its verdant homeland, it’s no wonder these seeds come in such luscious shades of green and blue.
Known as the vegetable version of ivory, the shedding process for the Tagua seed can take up to seven years, and each pod contains only one seed. Like all the materials that go into Colombian-crafted jewelry, however, Tagua seeds are renewable resources that replenish themselves without impacting the environment.
Bean seeds are often classified by their brilliance. They can be designated as either opaque (O), intermediate (I) or brilliant (B).
This necklace when stretched out measured approximately 34 inches and coils around your neck. This convertible necklace can also be used as a bracelet that coils multiple times around your wrist.
