Capiz Cat Bookmark

Handcrafted bookmark in capiz shell and wire. A cat in translucent shell. Each one unique.

Capiz is the shell of a marine mollusk harvested in coastal Southeast Asia. Artisans wash and soak the shells, cut them into shapes, and edge them in metal wire before sealing with varnish. The result is a material that is warm, translucent, and slightly irregular — no two pieces exactly alike. This bookmark takes the form of a sitting cat, the shell catching light differently each time you open the book.

Readers who pay attention to the physical objects in their reading life buy this one. It marks your place and earns a second look while it does it. A thoughtful gift for the bibliophile who already has too many bookmarks and will keep this one anyway.
