Round Rainbow Suncatcher
Concentric rings of rainbow colour radiate out from a deep blue centre, set into a soldered metal frame for a clean stained-glass effect. The bold, graphic design reads beautifully from across a room and lights up vividly when sun comes through the window, casting a soft halo of colour onto the wall behind.
A piece that suits modern and traditional homes equally well — bright enough to add real personality to a kitchen window or a hallway pane, but considered enough not to feel novelty. The classic rainbow design has obvious gift appeal: housewarmings, birthdays, retirement, or simply for someone who wants a daily dose of colour through their window.
Easy to hang with a small hook or suction cup, and turns gently in the breeze to keep the colours moving through the day.

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.
