Montego Bay Necklace and Earrings

Nuts and seeds make lovely, eco-friendly jewelry components

To design this necklace I got my inspiration from a beautiful city called Montego Bay in Jamaica, very exotic, and very tropical.

My raw material consists of natural seeds from Colombia, South America, (don't worry, no harm is done to the environment).

This necklace has a tagua nut center, four tagua petals, two bombona seeds and four acai seeds (the smallest ones).

Tagua is an eco-friendly nut, also known as vegetable ivory, that grows in the Colombian rainforest, commonly used in South America to make jewelry.

This lightweight seed can be carved, polished, drilled to make small holes and finally dyed with natural extracts and vegetable oils. It is perfect to create unique pieces of jewelry.

Thank you,

What a beautiful use of natural elements to create this jewelry set.

The necklace and earrings are so tranquil and tropical, and I love the waterfall front of the necklace.

Thank you for sharing how the nuts and seeds are used in jewelry making. I love your eco-jewelry approach to design!

I love the colors of the necklace. This blue is very hot for this summer season.
It definitely reminds me of a tropical Island!
