Capiz are farmed in Indonesia and every bit is used. The pieces are carefully sorted, dried, sliced, shaped, sanded and dyed. Strung together with strong, invisible, nylon cord, the thin, flat translucent pieces provide luminous color.

In the 1500s, capiz were used as windowpanes in houses; now they are used in all sorts of home decorations, including lamp shades and vases and (of course) wind chimes!

This wonderful capiz windchime was hand-crafted with pride by craftsmen of Bali.

Materials: 2-inch purple capiz (24 round, 12 square),
