About Capiz Shells:

Capiz shells are actually the outer shells of a marine mollusk; its scientific name is placuna placenta, better known as the "window glass oyster". Philippine Capiz shells are so named because they were originally harvested from the shallow coastal waters near the town of Capiz, on the island of Panay. Once cleaned, the shells are naturally translucent and, when painted, provide a delightful interplay of light and color.
