The dark brown wood contrasts with the cool blue and green capiz.
Capiz are farmed in Indonesia and every bit is used. The pieces are carefully sorted, dried, sliced, shaped, sanded and dyed. The thin, flat translucent pieces of capiz provide a luminous color.
In the 1500s, capiz were used as windowpanes in houses; now they are used in all sorts of home decorations, including lampshades vases, and (of course) windchimes!
This product is handcrafted with pride by artisans in Bali, therefore sizes can vary.
I first bought these chimes as a gift for my Mom for Christmas in 2012, 12 years ago.
They’ve been outside ever since, and I have enjoyed listening to them softly chiming in the breeze whenever I was visiting home.
She liked them as well, because she asked for another set of them this year (They were looking a bit rough after the 12 years outside).
We’ve kept the old set so that my younger brother can maybe practice some amateur woodwork and fix them up a bit, since they still sounded fine.
I won’t drag on- Pretty sound, durable construction, unbeatable price are the attributes I would assign to these. 5 stars.
nice to listen too - calm and relaxing
