Background: Capiz shells are related to oysters and scallops and classically come from the Province of the same name in the Phillipines, however, varieties of the shell can be found throughout the Indo Pacific region. The shells are fished under strict licensed quota and they are also extensively cultured both for their meat and for the quality pearls they can produce.

Capiz shell in History The natural shells are so thin as to be translucent and were known as windowpane oyster, although today the shells are more frequently seen made into lampshades and other decorative objects.
