During stormy weather, after all the nets were mended, they began making handicrafts from discarded shells. Capiz shells, or Jingle Oysters grow like weeds in shallow sea beds. Before the fishermen got creative, they were only collected for the meat and the shells were discarded. Now nothing is wasted. Our comprehensive line of capiz shell chimes \u0026amp; tableware were designed by Andrea Phillips and beautifully handcrafted by these fishermen turned artisans and the wind chimes are assembled in our in house, fair trade workshop in Bali.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","image":{"created_at":"2013-11-13T07:46:40-05:00","alt":null,"width":800,"height":800,"src":"\/\/tokobalizen.com\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/lamps.jpg?v=1578903022"}}]
Ice Blue Capiz Shell Strand
is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Our capiz strands are very popular, coming in a large selection of beautiful color combinations. They create a lovely environment in any setting and come with a metal ring at the top for easy hanging. Our capiz supply comes from a fishing village in Java, where our shell artisans sustainably harvest the shells and shape them. All parts of the capiz (jingle oyster) are used; the meat is used for food, the main part of the shell for handicraft, and the shell waste for fertilizer. Only full-grown shells are picked from the kelp beds, where they grow, which provides more space and food source for the young ones to grow.
