Square and rectangular buttons made from natural buttons are surprisingly uncommon, and we're happy to offer this beautiful 3/4-inch tagua version. A raised rim adds tactile appeal, and you can place the button so it appears square or diamond-shaped. Nicely unisex, and appealing in so many different uses -- they shine on shirts, jackets, vests, pants, skirts, and just about anywhere else.

The nut of a native palm tree, tagua is also known as corozo or vegetable ivory. It looks like animal ivory, and can be both carved and dyed. Profits made from the nut's use provide a reason not to harvest South American rain forest and deplete the ozone layer.
