Whispered Secrets Necklace 1135 Wrapped around kaisa grassDelicate in pearly white, this stunning necklace is made from capiz, the thin shell of a marine mollusk. First artisans wash and soak shells. After the shells have dried, they are cut into shapes and edged with metal wire. A finishing coat of varnish completes this labor intensive process. Before glass windows became available in the Philippines, capiz was used for windows in houses.
