Ivory nut, often called vegetable ivory, is the hardened seed material of certain palms. It is plant-derived, not elephant ivory. Its dense pale interior can be carved into small sculptural forms as well as beads. A smooth polish reveals a fine, creamy-looking surface. Natural outlines, small surface variations and the carving style give each form character; exposure and handling can gradually warm the color.
Choosing your piece
Look for clear botanical or material information and inspect the carving, drill holes and dimensions. The term does not certify a particular palm species, and decorative coloring should be disclosed in the individual listing.
Care notes
Treat it as an organic material: avoid soaking, steam, direct heat and harsh cleaners. Wipe gently with a dry cloth, store in stable conditions and do not try to bleach away natural changes in tone.
Collection names follow our product descriptions. Composition, dimensions, treatments and any supporting documentation remain specific to each listing.
