About this Product
These simple yet beautiful earrings are made from capiz shells, also known as “windowpane oysters” because they have been used as a glass substitute for centuries, especially in the Philippines where they are found more than anywhere. Very thin and lightweight, these translucent shells easily show rainbow colors of blue, pink, yellow, and green when held to the light and tilted slightly. Simple. Lightweight. Beautiful.
A matching necklace is available in the Necklaces section, and a set with these earrings and matching necklace are available in the Sets section.
Dimensions:
1” (25mm) D
1 7/8” (45mm) L with ear wire
Handmade Jewelry by Jeff
Meet the Maker
My wife Graça and I live in Washington state and love the Pacific Northwest. Before retiring, I worked as a pastor and a small business entrepreneur. Then with time on my hands I felt the need to be creative and productive, and started making handmade jewelry. These pieces were simply given away to friends and neighbors who encouraged me to sell them, and eventually I decided to do just that. Thus Handmade Jewelry by Jeff came to be.
Shop Policies
Many people have metal allergies. Hypoallergenic (nickel- and chromium-free) ear wires solve the problem for some, but others have skin reactions to these as well. Our earrings are available with metal AND plastic earring hooks (and bails as needed) — no metals at all are in these hooks. Each earring product has an option for you to select metal or plastic earring hooks. The plastic hooks are very lightweight, quite comfortable, and solve the metal allergies problem.
