Capiz Strand - Bougainvillea, Indonesia
| Availability: | In stock (5) |
Easily our most popular capiz product, these strands come in a large selection of beautiful colour combinations! They create a lovely environment in any setting and come with a metal ring at the top for easy hanging.
The capiz supply comes from a fishing village in Java, where our shell artisans sustainably harvest the shells and shape them. All parts of the capiz (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.
