Natural Materials: Coconut

Much of our range of jewellery and accessories are made or decorated with natural materials which includes coconut shells and coconut palm.

See our Natural Materials page for the full range.

Coconuts come from the coconut palm.  This is a large palm tree which can grow up to 30 metres tall. It is grown throughout the tropical world with the fruit, i.e. the coconut, being used for many culinary purposes, and the husk, together with the leaves, bark and wood having a wide variety of uses. Nearly all parts of the tree are useful, in Malaysia it is known as the tree of a thousand uses and in the Philippines it is commonly known as the Tree of Life. Coconut shell is highly durable, can be polished, carved  and is beautifully decorative, so is ideal for jewellery, buttons and hair accessories. The palm can be woven into accessories such as purses and bags.
