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.

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.
