Cool down with the Ombré Shell Necklace from the Philippines. The soft blue tone that fades into natural capiz is reminiscent of cool ocean water ebbing and flowing along the shore, making this necklace a perfect piece for your next trip to the beach. These necklace from our artisan partner SAFFY, Inc. features capiz shell. Artisans wash and soak the thin shells before cutting them into shape and edging them with wire in a labor-intensive process. Before glass windows became available in the Philippines, capiz was used for windows in houses!
