Seed Factory (tagua)

The next day we went to the seed factory. It is a factory that they use seeds called tagua from a certain plant to make jewelry. We got to go on a tour to see how  they make it. First they make it smooth and got the skins off. Then they cut them and smoothed them again by tumbling then in sand. After that they start connecting the pieces together on how they want the jewelry made. Just another interesting fact, is that they also make buttons, and the store Banana Republic uses their buttons instead of plastic to be more natural.
