Bahía Block Tagua Bracelet
Harvested along the coastal region of Manabí, Ecuador, tagua is a natural seed known as vegetable ivory for its density and smooth, polished finish. Used since the 19th century, each seed is collected once fallen and slowly dried over weeks or months before being carved by hand.
This piece, Bahía Block, takes its name from Bahía de Caráquez, one of the coastal towns that form part of the Manabí province, where this craft is deeply rooted. It is composed of sculptural tagua segments, individually shaped and assembled into a bold bracelet, each one carrying the natural variations of the material.
Today, tagua is valued as a sustainable material, offering a natural alternative to animal ivory and synthetics, while preserving the craft traditions of the region.
