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.

Before you ask

Questions, answered

Are your pieces really from Tibet?
Origin varies by product and maker. Read the individual description for any stated material and workshop origin; a Tibetan-inspired design does not by itself establish where a piece was made. Contact us if a detail is not listed.
What does ‘consecrated’ mean here?
Consecration refers to a religious blessing practice, not a guaranteed personal outcome. It applies only where stated for the individual product; traditions and temples can vary. We do not apply one monastery claim to every piece.
How long does delivery take?
Allow for any stated sourcing or making time before dispatch, followed by international transit. Handmade and custom pieces can take longer; routes from Tibet, where applicable, may also need extra time. See our shipping policy for current estimates. Standard shipping is $15 below $80 and free at $80 or more.
Can I return a piece?
See our returns policy for the 30-day return window, eligibility and exclusions. Please check the terms for custom or personalized pieces before ordering, and contact us for help with an existing order.
