What is Vegetable Ivory?
Vegetable ivory comes from the indigenous Palm tree.
The gorgeous white centre found in the seed features in this piece.
'Lucky', father of 4, and grandfather to 3, transforms these seeds into beads. This skill helps him put food on the family's table.
This unique and locally sourced seed ensures our Rhino conservation design is unique to the African bush and supports rural families.
