A cheerful hanging windchime made from coloured shell leaves strung from a length of bamboo. The shells come in a full rainbow of jewel tones — red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple — and catch the light beautifully when the breeze sets them moving against each other.
The sound is much softer than a metal windchime: a quiet, watery clinking, closer to the noise of seashells in a rockpool than the bright tones of an aluminium chime. Pleasant enough to leave near an open window without becoming intrusive.
Hangs well in a covered porch, sheltered patio, or conservatory where it gets light air movement without being battered by wind. Also works as a colourful indoor hanging in a sunny window, where the shells will throw shifting flecks of colour as they turn.
A bright, joyful gift — particularly good for someone moving into a new home, or anyone with a garden bench or covered seating area where they spend time outdoors.

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.
