Purple Capiz Chime with Wood Beads

$30.00


SKU: C716
Description
Bright and cheery, this chime adds a fun bit of color to the landscape. 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.

    Beautiful and longer lasting than the usual

    This is the second one of these chimes I've bought. I really love them, both for their looks and their soothing sound. What's really great is that the construction, with the strands of shells hanging off a cross-shaped frame, and with the shells separated from each other by beads, makes tangling way, way, way less likely! I have a number of more typical capiz chimes, and I end up spending way too much time laboriously untangling the strands. These have the classic soft, tinkling sound without the tangling issue. (I bought an aqua colored one too!)

    Beautiful windchimes

    I love the capiz chimes as not too loud on windy days in Western NY. The purple color is great and doesn't fade in the summer sun.
