Coffee break tagua nut pendant
Details
A great gift for a coffee lover!
A cute little pewter coffee pot with a suspended mug hangs on a slice of burnt sienna tagua nut - the environmentally and animal friendly "vegetable" ivory.
The Tagua or Ivory Palm grows in the Amazone rainforest. It produces an extraordinary fruit - the Tagua nut, which has been used to make buttons, jewellery, and carved objects since the 19th century. Not only is it a beautiful animal-friendly substitute for ivory but it also employs the native people and provides a strong incentive to protect the rain forest. A palm's yearly harvest equals ivory from one female elephant.
The tagua nut is about 1 3/4" long and is suspended from an 18" length of pleather cord (another animal-friendly product, as it looks like leather but is more durable).
The necklace fastens with a triangular toggle held in place with sterling silver crimps.
This pendant is also available in black, champagne, orange, blue and other colours. Just convo me if you'd like a different colour or a different length pendant. The tagua nut is a natural material, so each one is unique.

Policies
I acknowledge purchases and ship items immediately, usually within 24 hours of payment. I enjoy communicating with customers and appreciate hearing why you chose my shop and the purpose of the purchase. My goal is to have 100% customer satisfaction.
I'm in Canada so items can take a week to ten days to arrive in the United States. Also, postage is high in Canada (small population, huge country), but I charge the absolute minimum for shipping, often less than it costs me.
Reviews
I have been delighted with purchases I have made from Artfire.
I now have a wonderful pen from steampunk creations-my friend will love it!
The prehnite gemstone earrings are so beautiful- how delightful to have a site with choices like these at such a reasonable price.
I absolutely LOVE these pieces, especially the bear pendant! Shipping was very fast and the seller was very nice and even emailed to let me know that she sent the piece - I will definitely be a return customer. Thanks Debbie!
