These cute blue circle studs are made from tagua that has been dyed and hand-carved by Magdelena of the MYA project in Quito, Ecuador, and fixed to a sterling silver ear post by Amy and Rachel from the fabulous Just Trade workshop in Peckham, London.  

Each pair of studs is the result of a fair and empowering global collaboration, so you can wear them with pride. 

'But, what is Tagua?' we hear you cry. Well, Tagua is a nut from a type of palm that grows in the South American jungle. Often known as 'vegetable ivory', it is a sustainable and completely environmentally sound alternative to animal ivory. As it is organic and hand-carved, the magical grain of the nut will be visible on each earring, making every pair completely unique.

Complete the look with this Deep Blue Irregular Single Necklace - just let us know if you'd like them gift-wrapped together.
