Introduction: The Timeless Beauty of Capiz Shell

Capiz shell has long been admired for its pearlescent glow, delicate translucence, and lightweight structure. Known as “nature’s glass,” capiz adds elegance and warmth to any home décor style—from coastal and boho to holiday luxury.

Today, global retailers are increasingly drawn to capiz décor because it delivers:

  • A premium yet natural look

  • Lightweight but durable construction

  • Versatile design applications

  • Strong storytelling for eco-conscious consumers

Vietnam is one of the leading producers of capiz handicrafts, and Far Eastern Handicraft (FEH) is proud to be a key manufacturer supplying major retailers with capiz plates, ornaments, tabletop décor, and wall art.

The Origin Story: What Makes Capiz So Special?

Capiz shells come from the Placuna placenta mollusk, found in shallow coastal waters. After being naturally cleaned and treated, the shells reveal:

  • A translucent surface

  • Natural pearlescent shine

  • Smooth, versatile texture

  • Neutral tones ideal for coloring or lacquering

These qualities make capiz perfect for both decorative and functional items.

Capiz is valued not only for beauty but also because it is:

  • Eco-friendly (a by-product of the seafood industry)

  • Highly workable for artisans

  • Thin yet strong, ideal for layering and shaping

This combination is hard to replicate in synthetic materials—giving capiz décor a unique market advantage.

How FEH Transforms Capiz Shells into High-Quality Décor

FEH follows a refined, multi-step crafting process to ensure each capiz product meets international export standards.

Cleaning & Preparing the Shells

Each capiz shell is:

  1. Soaked to remove natural residue

  2. Sun-dried for a clean, translucent finish

  3. Flattened using heat and pressure

  4. Cut into shapes depending on design

This preparation stage ensures clarity and uniformity across pieces.

Cutting, Layering & Forming

Depending on the product type, capiz may be:

  • Cut into geometric or organic shapes

  • Layered to create thicker, more durable surfaces

  • Pressed into molds for plates or ornaments

  • Framed with metal or resin for reinforcement

The technique varies for plates, ornaments, lighting panels, or decorative tiles.

Coloring & Lacquering

To achieve different aesthetic effects, FEH uses:

  • Natural dyes

  • Soft pastel color palettes

  • Metallic finishes (gold, champagne, rose gold)

  • Clear lacquer for durability

This step enhances both appearance and scratch resistance.

Final Assembly & Quality Inspection

All capiz items undergo:

  • Visual inspection for cracks or chips

  • Color and finish checks

  • Strength testing

  • Edge finishing

  • Packaging protection (foam sheets, poly bags, inner boxes)

This ensures products are not only beautiful but also safe for transportation and long-distance retail distribution.
