Actually, they do make gauges from tagua nuts from a simple plug to large and ornate.

I picked up my (large and ornate) pair at a music festival.

I've found this to be the best (and cheapest) way to buy a new pair of gauges.

It's very difficult to find any for sale online, I think this is because they don't make too many of them-the demand just isn't there, most people would prefer to have bone in their ear.

Anyway, I've had mine in for over a year and a half, no problems, they're awesome, they "weather" in a very cool way.

The "answer" that was here before I saved the day:

You can make plugs out of any material that you like; stone, wood, acrylic, metal, glass…the list goes on and on. If you want some made out of tagua, then take them to a mod artist that specializes in making plugs, or make them yourself. Plugs are easy to make, the only important thing to note is to make doubly sure that they are smooth and have no burs, and that you properly seal them with laquer or a clearcoat of some kind. If you wear wood that has not been sealed, the skin of your ears will start to grip into the pores of the material…and may get to a point to where you can't take them out because your skin will "hug" them really tight, and in some instances, you have to get wood jewelry cut out.

What is tagua nut problem?

The tagua nut problem refers to the environmental and economic challenges associated with the harvesting of tagua nuts, which are used as a substitute for ivory in various products. While tagua harvesting can provide income for local communities and reduce pressure on elephant populations, unsustainable practices can lead to deforestation and biodiversity loss. Additionally, the reliance on this crop can create economic vulnerabilities for communities if demand fluctuates. Balancing sustainable harvesting practices with economic needs is crucial to addressing the tagua nut problem.
