This ethereal Christmas angel is handcrafted by artists in the Philippines with all-natural and sustainably sourced capiz shell. Harvested from coastal waters in The Philippines, capiz is a flat, semi-transparent, shimmering shell with a pearlescent sheen. For centuries, the locals have earned their living from these shells, and to this day this material is a vital commodity for Filipino people
