STORY
Handcrafted by artisans in the Philippines, these earrings of wafer-thin leaf motif pieces are made from capiz, the thin shell of a marine mollusk. First artisans wash and soak shells. After the shells have dried, they are cut into shapes and edged with metal wire. A finishing coat of varnish completes this labor-intensive process. Before glass windows became available in the Philippines, capiz was used for windows in houses.

Pretty earrings

Well made, light weight, very attractive earrings. Only thing missing was backs for earrings.

Always get compliments

I first bought three earrings probably 10+ years ago. I lost one and recently repurchased when I saw a Ten Thousand Villages on vacation. These earrings are so light for a larger earring and I always get compliments when I wear them. Highly recommend.

Love these earrings. They are my favorite "go to" earrings to wear.

Very pretty and great fun to wear!!

These are lovely - a great combination of the "veins" in the leaf which have a soft sheen and the shell background which is sheer and matte. They look great with a variety of clothes! One caution: add backers to prevent losing one. Love them!

Very pretty

These are lovely, but bigger than I expected - probably about an inch long.
