Muichic offers fair trade jewelry that is designed in Vermont and ethically handmade in Colombia using tagua seeds and other sustainably sourced natural materials. The tagua palm grows wild throughout the rainforests of Colombia. When the fruit is ripe, it breaks from the palm, and the seeds are harvested and dried for 6 to 9 months until they become rock solid. After drying, tagua seeds resemble ivory in color, texture, and hardness and can be cut, polished, and dyed. Tagua "vegetable ivory" helps raise awareness about the tens of thousands of African elephants killed each year for the ivory trade and provides an environmentally responsible alternative. A single female tagua palm can produce up to 50 pounds of seeds in a year, which is the amount of ivory in an average African elephant tusk. The tagua palm also provides valuable habitat to animals and assists with rainforest preservation by preventing tree cutting for farming or cattle. Muichic works with skilled Colombian artisans based on fair trade principles including safe, healthy, and empowering working conditions and fair and prompt pay. They are a member of the Fair Trade Federation.
