Incredible 1980s black and ivory capiz shell napkin rings in a knife edge fan shape. These are truly eye catching and unique, and would make for a stunning table setting. The glint in the capiz shell is just lovely, and the contrast between the black and ivory stripes with the serrated edge is reminiscent of the great Duomos and cathedrals in Italy. The back is solid ivory in color, so you can flip them over for a more subtle look. We love the versatility!

They are on the more fragile size, as capiz shell is naturally more brittle, and a couple have some minor separation of the layers, as shown in the images. They are still pretty sturdy, and have a lot of life left in them if cared for well.
