Looking for some gorgeous outdoor & patio decorations? Our Capiz Shell Wind Chimes are perfect for you! These unique wind chimes are handmade by artisans in Indonesia out of capiz shells, meaning that they sparkle in the light, and, when placed outside, create a gentle tinkling of the shells. This chime features shades of blues and whites to refresh your home décor or patio!
All of our capiz shell chimes and strands come 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.

I absolutely love my Capiz shell strands. I’ve hung 14 in the door jam to create the most beautiful moving work of art of a curtain. It moves slightly with the breeze and the light dances along the shells. I absolutely love it!
