Wind Chime Driftwood Cross Blue And Pearl

• The sound is light and natural, shaped by shell pieces moving against one another rather than a tuned metal scale.
• It suits a sheltered balcony, porch, garden room or window where air can move through it slowly.
• The cross form gives it a simple hanging shape, with strands that add movement even when the sound is quiet.
• Driftwood brings a weathered, organic centre, so the chime feels more found than polished.
• The blue and pearl tones give it a coastal mood without feeling overly bright.

This piece is handmade in Bali by small family businesses, using beach-sourced driftwood with Capiz shell, raffa, pinewood beads and Coffea canephora. The materials give it a relaxed, tactile finish: wood grain, bead texture and shell sheen working together rather than matching perfectly.

Hang it where it can move freely, away from walls that may stop the strands from sounding. A covered outdoor space is best for natural materials, especially if the weather is wet, windy or cold.

Wipe the wood and beads with a dry cloth when needed. Keep it out of prolonged damp, as natural fibres, shell and wood age more gracefully when allowed to dry between uses.

Wind chimes appear in many cultures as threshold objects, placed where air, sound and movement meet. In some folk traditions they are hung near doors, porches and garden entrances as symbolic guardians, marking the shift between outside and in. Here, that meaning sits gently beside the craft: a small sound when the wind changes, a shimmer of shell, and a reminder to notice the space around you.

Weight: 230 g. Materials include raffa, pinewood beads, driftwood, Coffea canephora and Capiz shell. Origin: Indonesia.

A lovely choice for someone who likes natural home décor, sea-inspired textures or small rituals in the garden. It feels especially suited to a balcony, conservatory, porch or calm reading corner.
