The translucent capiz shell (Windowpane oyster Placuna Placenta) has been used for centuries in Indonesia to make elaborate handicrafts and as a substitute for glass. This is why the mussel is also known as the windowpane mussel.
Height of the tealight approx. 7 cm, diameter approx. 13 cm. The recess for the tealight is approx. 3.5 cm in size.
The processing of the Capiz shell is very time-consuming, as the different layers of the Mussel shell are first carefully separated and made malleable by soaking. After shaping, cutting and drying, the individual pieces of shell are dyed and then assembled into the beautiful lotus flower-shaped tealights.
The capiz shells for the tea lights come from farms; the shellfish meat is a traditional local food.
Hello! My name is Marco Schreier and I am the founder of the Mineralienhandlung GmbH of the same name. Creativity and stones have been a topic for me since I was a child, and they first shaped my free time and then my entire professional life.
As a child, this began playfully with collecting and crafting with stones I had found myself and with the first minerals that my grandfather brought me from the Alps. Later, a fascination for processing, sawing, grinding, designing and artistic work with gemstones emerged. With our Chili Creative ® brand, we managed to build up a range developed by experts from our wholesale business and our production sites in Asia.
Today, numerous professional jewelry designers, goldsmiths, jewelry makers, jewelers and creative people from the online world such as Etsy and Pinterest providers use the components of Chili Creative® in their projects. With our tools, stone components, bead strands, pearls and silver parts as well as high-quality stringing materials, you can create creative jewelry projects that are highly profitable for resale.
