Harmony Dove Ornament
Harmony Dove Ornament
The beauty of this handcrafted capiz shell ornament begins at the bottom of the sea surrounding the Philippine Islands. Divers collect basketfuls of beautiful “windowpane” shells for Artisans like Emelyn, who cut each custom shape and bind them into gold-plated frames to create this Harmony Dove Ornament. The delicate Harmony Dove Ornament will beautifully adorn your Christmas tree this holiday season!
Every ornament has variations as a part of the Artisan-made charm!

Emelyn's Story of Hope After financial struggles forced Emelyn and her siblings to drop out of school during her first year of college, Emelyn went to work at a fast-food restaurant. At the restaurant, she met the granddaughter of a local businesswoman who taught women how to make jewelry and art from capiz shells. Amazed by the Artisans’ creativity, Emelyn eagerly learned each step of the production process. She hopes that their Capiz business will become more stable and gain more orders. She believes that it will be a stepping stone that will lead her to achieving her dreams which includes being able to provide her family with a comfortable life. She hopes they can also employ additional workers in their community to provide an alternative source of income too.
