Collection: Capiz Shell Necklaces

Capiz Shell jewelry from the Philippines 

Colorful with lots of delicately shimmering reflections – this is how the necklaces, earrings, rings and bracelets from Shine are presented. The capiz jewelry is made from the translucent capiz shell (placuna placenta). This bivalve, strikingly flat-growing pearl clam thrives in large numbers around the 7,000 islands of the Philippines. Shine only uses shells that are already dead and picked up from the beach. The shells are individually ground into shape by hand, polished and covered with a protective layer of cast resin. Each piece is individually handcrafted. All metal parts are free of nickel, cadmium and lead.The wire is made of stainless steel with a plastic coating.
