Flower of Life Suncatcher
A round suncatcher featuring the Flower of Life — a geometric pattern of overlapping circles that forms a striking floral grid — in a full rainbow of resin colours, bordered with a deep blue ring. Set into a soldered metal frame, the intricate pattern reads beautifully when sunlight passes through, with each small petal lighting up in its own colour.
The Flower of Life is one of the oldest decorative patterns in the world, appearing in temples, churches, and manuscripts across many cultures going back thousands of years. The geometric repetition gives it a clean, almost mathematical appeal — equally at home in a contemporary kitchen, a study, or a hallway window where the detail can be appreciated up close.
A handsome piece for anyone with an eye for pattern, geometry, or sacred art, and a thoughtful gift for housewarmings, milestone birthdays, or as a graduation present for someone with an interest in design, architecture, or mathematics.

Good to know
Where should I hang it?
A window that gets direct sunlight for at least part of the day — south or west-facing works best. When sun comes through, the coloured resin glows like stained glass and casts soft pools of colour into the room. In indirect light it still looks lovely, just without the lit-from-behind effect.
How do I hang it?
A small cup hook screwed into the top of the window frame is the neatest option. A suction cup hook works well if you don't want to make holes, though they can lose grip on cold glass in winter. The metal ring slips over either.
Will it spin?
Yes, gently — air movement around a window is usually enough to set it turning slowly, so the colours shift across the room as it moves. It's not designed for outdoor use where stronger wind would tangle the cord.
Can I hang it outside?
We'd keep it indoors. The resin and wire are reasonably hardy, but prolonged UV will eventually fade the colours and weather will dull the soldered seams. A porch, conservatory or covered window is a sensible middle ground.
What's the difference vs the ones on Amazon?
Look closely at the wire work — ours are properly soldered with even seams, not glued. The resin is poured cleanly into each section without bubbles or shrinkage at the edges. Cheap imports tend to use thinner wire that bends out of true, and the colours fade noticeably within a year or two even indoors.
