Unique and colorful capiz shell strands for indoor or outdoor decor. These strands are the same used in windchimes, only these are 72 inches in total length. Sold as single strands. This strand features pale blues, yellow, peach, orange tones. These make great indoor decor as well, create a wall of art, hang in doorways, kids rooms, or give as gifts. Mix and match other colors. Features a metal ring to hang from. These have a nice sound, not overbearing like some wind chimes may be. Our 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.
