Some 70 years ago several fishing families moved from Madura to Java's Eastern coast because of the profusion of sea life there. During stormy weather they would mend their nets and make handicrafts. Capiz shells, or Jingle Oysters, grow like weeds in shallow sea beds. Before the fishermen got creative, capiz shells were only collected for the meat and the shells were discarded. Now nothing is wasted and they employ the shells in crafts such as these wind chimes.
