Four ways to wear the seed

From everyday bracelets to collectable carvings, every piece begins as a single tagua nut.

Our story

From rainforest seed to treasured piece

Tagua is the seed of a palm that grows wild across the rainforests of South America. Once it falls and dries, it hardens to the density and warmth of ivory — earning its name, vegetable ivory.

Every V V Worthy piece is shaped, sanded and polished by hand, so no two are quite alike. Beautiful, durable and gentle on the planet — and on its wildlife.
