Our capiz chimes are made up of a stunning array of shapes and colors. They sparkle in the light, and when placed outside, create a gentle tinkling of the shells. The capiz pieces comes from a fishing village in Java, where shell artisans sustainably harvest the shells and shape them. All parts of the capiz (or "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.
