Alpaca could be the softest and fluffiest material I have
ever felt. We import quality handmade alpaca products,
from teddies to rugs.
Mother of Pearl, when
polished correctly, gives off beautifully brilliant shades of
silver, green, pink, and gray. We carry many lovely mother
of pearl jewelry items including necklaces, earrings, key-chains
and more!
Tagua, or Vegetable Ivory, comes from a palm nut
that grows deep in the rainforest. When polished, it is
similar in appearance and consistency to animal ivory, but it
comes from a plant, hence the name "Vegetable Ivory".
Natives in the jungle have been crafting in Tagua for thousands
of years, in fact, tagua used to be a very popular source for
buttons, until around WWII when plastic was invented.
Recently its popularity has grown significantly as a
environmentally friendly alternative to killing endangered
animals for ivory. Tagua is still a popular source for
designer buttons, but we also carry figurines, jewelry, and even
beautiful chess sets made in Tagua and tropical hardwood.
Jade has been cherished
all over the world since ancient times for its beauty. In
the amazon, natives have been using it for crafting for
thousands of years, and still do, in fact. We import items
crafted in jade, such as jewelry, pendants, statues, and masks.
