Alluring and inspired, Palma jewelry is both bright and bold and brings glossy rainbow and earth themes to life in its unique selection of necklaces, earrings and bracelets. Each piece is individually handcrafted, environmentally friendly and 5% of gross sales go towards fighting cancer and preserving earth’s resources. In addition, each piece is crafted from a rare palm tree nut found along South America’s coastline with locals primarily completing the crafting process. Distinctive pieces include the Chikle necklace, which appears like it could be comprised of candy Smarties, or Chiclets gum and pairs perfectly with a cheerful top and jeans. Other jewelry items are designed with fun eco-materials like wax cotton, faux-suede, vegan straps and the tagua nuts (vegetable ivory).

Tagua is viewed as a sustainable alternative to ivory derived from animals and responsible harvesting may actually augment rainforest conservation in South America. The nuts are gathered only after they’ve matured and fallen from the tree and are dried, thinly sliced and permanently dyed (non-toxic) before transforming into pretty jewelry pieces. Locals Amazonian Indians believe that vegetable ivory or tagua nuts bring prosperity, happiness, love and abundance. Tagua is a terrific alternative to plastic and can also be found in items like buttons, sculptures, figurines and even chess pieces. The Palma Collection has been featured in Lucky Magazine, Women’s Health, and GQ magazine.
