The societal benefits of Olga Margarita, tagua necklaces ensure that the preservation of rainforests in South American can withstand the pressures of a more commercialized world, that may have a negative effect on the environment. Olga Margarita, tagua necklaces are made using vegetable ivory (tagua), a natural seed from an endangered palm tree that only grows in the tropical rainforests of the South American Pacific coasts of Ecuador, Colombia and Venezuela.
When ripe, the nuts fall to the ground and are gathered and dried for a period of up to two years before being coloured, which alleviates potential damage to the rainforest during the production process.
Tagua is used in Olga Margarita, handmade jewellery designs instead of elephant ivory, maintaining essential ecosystems. The usage of tagua also ensures the reduction of deforestation and the depredation of elephants.
Olga Margarita, tagua necklaces are delivered in a silver designer jewellery box.
