This set of two handcrafted capiz shell ornaments begin 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 rustic, black-plated frames to create these celestial-inspired ornaments. The Celestial Capiz Ornament Set features a star ornament and a crescent moon shaped ornament with an adorable farmhouse feel.
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. Now, this twenty-four-year-old is able to support her parents, send her younger brother back to school, and buy land to build her family a home. She even co-manages the workshop’s entire capiz production process, along with the owner’s granddaughter! Every purchase of our Capiz Celestial Ornament Set helps empower Emelyn to lead and inspire her Artisan community in the Philippines.
