Lime Large Dangle Earrings

Made from eco-friendly tagua nuts from the Amazon rainforests, these large nut slices are dyed a variety of colors. Extremely lightweight and fun to wear! It's easy to add a splash of color to any outfit with these earrings. Handmade by Veronica Riley Martens, a Chicago jewelry designer who focuses on eco-friendly, organic and natural components with a modern twist. The main component of Veronica's jewelry line consists of tagua nuts. These nuts are indigenous to the rainforests in South America. They are sustainably harvested and are a renewable resource that helps preserve the rainforests. Tagua nuts are dried, cut, shaped and dyed by local craft persons in South America. Veronica then purchases these beads in various shapes and colors and creates each finished jewelry piece by hand in her Chicago studio, including drilling all holes and designing each piece.
