These are five green tagua squares for bracelets", 28mm long.
Each tagua bead is about 28mm long, at its widest point about 25mm wide and about 6mm thick. Shape, size and thickness of the beads vary. Each tagua bead has two cord holes with a diameter of about 2.5mm. The cord hole canal runs through the short side of the bead.
On the front side of the beads there is some peel residue to see, which give the beads - through the coloring - their unique charm. The back side is monochrome.
Pretty bracelets can be made with these tagua squares very easy and uncomplicated. To do so, you only need to thread the beads on two rubber bands repeatedly with reversed shape. Five tagua squares on a band gives you a length of about 10cm (a half bracelet). The tagua squares can be well combined with other tagua beads, lenses and tubes in contrasting color - if placed between the squares. Also interesting is the combination with beads in silver or brass; they give the bracelet an urban touch.
Please note:
Tagua or vegetable ivory is a natural product. Following drying, being cut into discs, lenses, beads, rings etc., it is going to be dyed. The individual pieces may have cracks, grain, brown peel residues etc.. It is not at fault. These characteristics are desired and provide the special design of the tagua products. Each piece is cut, drilled and colored by hand. Not one looks like the other.

Thanks to their cool-smooth touch and their nice shapes tagua products can be processed to exceptional and luxurious fashion jewelry.
