Keep things classy with the Fair Lady Earrings from the Philippines. These earrings feature capiz, the thin shell of a marine mollusk.
First artisans wash and soak shells. After the shells have dried, they are cut into shapes, dyed 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!
Smoked capiz with silver-plated brass binding - 1Lx0.75W inches - Handcrafted in the Philippines - Ethically sourced
