Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – The Jewelry Collection
What kind of jewelry does Jams World offer?
Our primary offering is our unique and colorful collection of organic Tagua Nut jewelry, including necklaces and bracelets.
What is a Tagua Nut?
The Tagua nut (pronounced TAG-wah) comes from a palm tree in Ecuador. It's often called "vegetable ivory" for its similar hardness and appearance. It's a sustainable, renewable resource.
Is the jewelry eco-friendly?
Yes, our Tagua nut jewelry is a very eco-conscious choice. The nuts are sustainably harvested, and they are colored with high-grade, organic vegetable dyes.
Is each piece of jewelry unique?
Yes. Because Tagua is a natural material, each nut has a unique size and shape. This ensures that no two pieces of our handcrafted jewelry are exactly the same.
Where is the jewelry made?
Our Tagua nut jewelry is all handcrafted by talented artisans in Ecuador.
Are the necklaces adjustable?
Yes, our Tagua nut necklaces typically feature a sliding knot on a durable faux leather cord, allowing you to easily adjust the length from short to long.
How should I care for my Tagua jewelry?
To keep your jewelry looking its best, avoid prolonged exposure to water and direct sunlight. You can polish the pieces with a soft, dry cloth.
Are the colors natural?
The pieces are dyed using vibrant, organic vegetable dyes imported from Italy, which are certified to be safe and eco-friendly.
Why did Jams World choose to offer Tagua jewelry?
We love Tagua jewelry because it aligns with our values of art, color, and uniqueness, and it comes from a beautiful, sustainable, and natural source.
Is this jewelry heavy to wear?
No, despite being made from a nut, Tagua jewelry is surprisingly lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear.
