Capiz Shell CodeS440

Add natural elegance to your home or creative projects with genuine Capiz Shells. Renowned for their translucent, pearl-like appearance, Capiz shells are sourced from the windowpane oyster (Placuna placenta), a marine mollusc found in the shallow coastal waters of Southeast Asia.
For centuries, Capiz shells have been valued for their unique ability to diffuse light beautifully. Before glass became widely available, they were commonly used as window panes in traditional Filipino homes, giving rise to the name “windowpane oyster.” Today, they remain a popular material for handcrafted lamps, chandeliers, candle holders, wall art, wind chimes, coasters, decorative bowls, and mosaic designs.
Each shell features natural variations in colour and texture, ranging from soft white to creamy ivory with an iridescent sheen. Lightweight yet durable, Capiz shells bring a sophisticated coastal charm to both modern and traditional interiors.
Whether used in home décor, DIY crafts, jewellery making, or artistic creations, Capiz shells offer a sustainable and timeless way to showcase the beauty of the sea.
