Bracelet features a cobalt slice of tagua nut atop a sky blue slice. The front is carved with a peace dove and the word for "Peace" in a delicate ring of international languages. The outside edge of the slice is left in a natural, dark shade to create a vibrant contrast in colors.

Tagua is a type of palm nut that is sustainably harvested from the South American rainforest. Often referred to as vegetable ivory because of its similarities to ivory, it can be dyed a myriad of vibrant colors.
