Vegetable Ivory
Vegetable Ivory is a very special palm seed discovered over 300 years ago in the Amazon jungle [Phytelephas Macrocarpa]. The colour, hardness and density of these seeds are very similar to animal ivory, making them the only natural and 100% sustainable alternative for ivory, helping to save the elephants and preserving the rain forests, at the same time.

But before it can be worked, the vegetable ivory seeds must be hardened by drying naturally. This can take from 2 to 20 years; the older the seed the more valuable it becomes.
