Tagua Bracelet — Living Form

For over two decades, her work with tagua—that rare “vegetable ivory” born in Ecuador’s humid tropical forests—has been an act of quiet transformation: giving new life to an ancestral material, elevating it into pieces that move seamlessly between nature, ethics, and beauty.

Through Taguarte, Patricia has shaped a distinctive design language where each jewel transcends ornament. It becomes a subtle yet powerful statement—an intentional choice to replace animal ivory with a living, plant-based alternative.

A vision where sustainability is not a compromise, but an intrinsic expression of elegance. Each piece, entirely handcrafted, carries the imprint of its making: the careful selection of materials, the meticulous polishing, the thoughtful assembly. There is a sense of time within it—of patience, of intention, of reverence for origin. In her work, luxury is not defined by excess, but by meaning.
