Before that first trip to the bead shop and bead online, it is important to understand beading tools and materials. As such, beading and jewelry-making has become an extremely popular hobby or home business for many inspired.

Tagua is the seed of the palm Phytelephas macrocarpa, this palm grows in the humid parts of the Ecuadorian jungle. Each mococha has between 15 and 20 tagua seeds. These seeds when exposed to the sun dry and their texture is hard. When it hardens its appearance is of ivory, but it is an ecological ivory.

Introducing tagua beads into the beading community has been a very hard task, very time consuming, it has been such a nice adventure. I’ve got to meet very nice people, customers that have become friends. Such a pleasant experience.

The reason is that a few months we got contacted by some people from Russia asking for Tagua Beads. After checking in our records we out it was Alexander, who bought beads from us back in Mar 2010.

The word bead comes from the Anglo Saxon words bidden (to pray) and bede (prayer.) Prayer beads are known world-wide, and help the user recite prayers and keep track of the sequence and number of the prayers.

Jewelry making is an ideal way to start earning a little extra money from home. You don’t need to spend a lot to get going. Initially your circle of friends will be your customers. Your friends will tell their friends, who will tell their friends, and so  on  and  so  on.

The commercialization of tagua in Ecuador began around 1865 with a first shipment to Germany, where the use of this product in the manufacture of high quality buttons for high fashion clothing was discovered.
