Green Triskele Celtic Suncatcher
A round suncatcher in deep green resin with a triskele — three interlocking spirals — set into a soldered metal frame for a clean stained-glass effect. Hung in a sunny window, the green glows beautifully and the spiral pattern reads clearly even from across the room.
The triskele is one of the oldest symbols in Celtic art, appearing on standing stones and metalwork dating back thousands of years. The three spirals are traditionally read as motion, progress, or the cycles of life, but the design works just as well as a piece of striking graphic decoration without any of the symbolism attached.
A handsome piece for a kitchen window, hallway pane, or anywhere with a touch of green outside the glass — the colour sits particularly well against garden foliage. A thoughtful gift for anyone with Celtic, Irish, or Scottish heritage, or simply someone with an eye for a good clean design.

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.
