A delicate hanging decoration that doubles as a gentle windchime. Coloured shell leaves in jewel tones — turquoise, amber, deep blue, green and red — hang on fine threads beneath a carved bamboo lotus flower, drifting and chiming softly with any breath of air.
The shell pieces catch the light beautifully when hung in a sunny window, casting soft shifts of colour as they turn. Outside in a sheltered porch or covered garden spot, the breeze sets them moving and they produce a quiet, tinkling sound — much softer than a metal windchime, closer to the sound of seashells against each other.
A lovely two-in-one piece for anyone who likes the look of a suncatcher but also enjoys the gentle sound of a chime. Works particularly well in a kitchen window, conservatory, or covered porch.

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.
