Three days ago, our friend Naz of Coffee Lovah sent us an email with pictures of all the beaded jewelry she elaborated with the tagua beads won in our April Giveaway.

It is very cool Naz, and the other winners have shared their designs. Please recall we are giving away tagua beads to give people the chance to get to  know ecofriendly tagua beads. (Tagua is nuts that comes from a palm tree, read more about tagua and its process into beads>>>)

Naz didn’t know what tagua was. She participated into our jewelry making contest with a beaded design named Biambi. Please note Biambi did not have a single bead of tagua, but that is the idea: Participate with any design you have, win tagua beads and learn about this exotic ivory nut. I believe Naz is another satisfied friend.

Here is the statement from Naz:

“Hi Fabrizio,

Today, we have selected this set of tagua beaded jewelry elaborated by our dear friend Sara. She lives in Ecuador. As I told in a previous post tagua beads are so versatile and can be used in some many different ways. I hope you like this set I am sharing.

We will share a much jewelry using tagua beads as possible will help people to learn a little bit more about this ecofriendly material, available in so many shapes, sizes en colors. Many of these artworks will be used in our printed tagua bead catalog. Available soon! » Read more: Tagua Beaded Jewerly Black and White by Sara

Hello Dear friends,

First of all please accept my apologies for not writting before, but I was too busy getting everything ready for our Tagua Beads Catalog 2011. Actually it should be seed beads since we also carry coconut beads. It has been quite an adventure, but I will share about this in my next posts.

Today’s tittle is the same as the famous movie of british agent 007 (by the way, I am a big fan of his movies). 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. After catching up, we found out she and her partner were doing very nice with their bead shop, that tagua demand was increasing and they needed more stocks. They bought quite a large arsenal of beads, over 80kilos. Very surprising for a 2nd order!

We took advantage of the opportunity and asked Alexander to answer our questions about their experiences with new business, and here is what she shared with us:
