Jewelry fibersJewelry fibers An important technique in medieval Philippines Jewelry was the use of garnet slices set, like enamel, into metal cells. Examples are garnet-inlaid buckles and clasps from the 7th-century Sutton Hoo ship burial in Suffolk (British Museum) and a crown inlaid with garnets and cabochon (rounded) gems (Real Amería, Madrid), which belonged to the Visigothic king Recceswinth. The famous Alfred jewel (9th century, Ashmolean Museum, Oxford) is an example of cloisonné. Quite different are Celtic gold torques, rigid bands that encircled the neck or arm of the wearer. Jewelry fibersJewelry fibers C. fimbriata Linn. The Philippines shells described by Schilder (1933) as C. waikikiensis were apparently beached specimens. When Philippines specimens of C. fimbriata are compared, no conchological differences can be detected, nor are there any apparent radular differences from Philippines shells which might conceivably fit Schilder's description. C. waikikiensis is therefore considered here as a synonym of C. fimbriata Linn. Habitat -- Shoreline, inshore waters, and to depths of 60 feet. Frequent. Distribution -- Throughout the Philippines Islands.
