Vtg Set 6 Capiz Pink Shell Floral Napkin Rings in Box,Philippines Cottage Core

Description

Today I'm offering this awesome set of 6 handmade napkin rings/holders in a gorgeous pink shell floral design on a ring covered with Capiz shell. (Please note that the napkin ring flowers are a darker pastel pink than the photos would indicate.)
The ring of the napkin rings measures 1-5/8" diameter (with a flat bottom) and 1-1/4" wide. They look like usual napkin rings in size. The flower petals are cut to the exact size they need to be to make the petals.
These are gorgeous and even better, the napkin rings exhibit no damage. The glue has held up really well and there are no chips.
They reside in a lovely matching box covered in translucent Capiz shell. Unlike the napkin rings, t
he box does have damage to the lid, but only to the feathery shell piece design; some pieces have fallen off, others are broken off. The flower on the box lid is a little dusty.  The box measures 9-1/2" long x 2-5/8" high and 2-1/4" deep.  A tag on the inside of the box top reads "Made in Philippines."  I thought this iridescent covering was mother of pearl but instead is Capiz, a shell found in the ocean around the Philippines.  I believe these are vintage from the 1970's (or perhaps earlier) based on the simplicity of the design. Capiz is also a province in the Philippines.  The item weighs 12 ounces.
Photos are part of the description so be sure to look carefully.  This item comes from a
