Know before you buy
While these placemats are crafted from natural capiz shells, they are best suited for special occasions or formal dining. Because they are made of delicate shell material, they should be handled with care to prevent chipping or scratching.
Maintenance is simple; just wipe the surface clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or submerging them in water, as this can damage the shell finish and the MDF backing.
Because the capiz shells are hand-dyed and natural, there will be slight variations in color and tone across each piece. This natural absorption process ensures that every placemat in your set is unique.
The 15-inch diameter provides a generous foundation that accommodates standard dinner plates comfortably. The round shape is versatile and works well with both circular and rectangular dining tables.
Each placemat is constructed with a sturdy MDF backing to provide structure and stability. The capiz shells are then meticulously hand-applied to this base in a scale-like pattern.
