This jewelry set brings together the boldness of red with the organic lightness of tagua, known as Ecuador’s vegetable ivory. Crafted by Taguarte, it combines hand-polished pieces with horsehair, creating a contemporary composition that highlights texture, form, and movement.

The necklace, paired with matching earrings, offers a clean yet expressive aesthetic where natural materials are transformed through design. Each piece reflects a balance between traditional craftsmanship and a modern perspective, made to accompany both everyday moments and special occasions.

More than an accessory, it is a way of carrying living materials and local techniques, reinterpreted through design.

Patricia Morales Celi

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.
