Like a miracle of nature: these exclusive Capiz discs are a very special maritime accessory. Named after their original locality, the coastal waters near the town of Capiz, Philippines, Capiz shells have been a popular material for decoration for centuries. Thus, in the 16th century window panes were extracted from the shell. The pearl shell with the scientific name Placuna placenta is translucent and shimmers in the light and movement in a very special way. Did you also know that the real mother-of-pearl is extracted from the Capizmuschel? You see, with this decorative shell you hold a fascinating piece of nature in your hands.
Use the fine mother of pearl discs for processing, crafting and decorating. For example, you can design a maritime table decoration by using the shells as name badges! Round off the overall picture with some decorative sand and other shells of various kinds. With a little craftsmanship can also create a delightful garland of the calcareous shells. Simply use a soft nylon cord to thread the shells. Ideal as a decorative garland, for example, as a window decoration, where the sunlight can break wonderfully in the Capiz.
The Capiz mussel is with a lot of slices in a box to a total of 250 grams. Since the shell shells are natural products, the individual discs vary in terms of shape, color and size. So the real Capiz shells have approximate sizes between 8 and 10 centimeters. Also very nice are home-made pieces of jewelery such as Christmas tree hanger, small figures or bracelets that you can make from the mother of pearl.
