Handmade Rain Chimes for Outdoor Garden Decor - Soothing Wind Chimes for Patio, Balcony & Backyard Relaxation

Beautiful, handcrafted Capiz shell wind chimes. Beautiful Carribean aqua and purple colors that hang from a bronze finished metal inverted arch frame.  They sparkle in the light, and when placed outside, they create a gentle tinkling sound. Measuring 12.75" wide x 30.5" length.

These Capiz shells come from a fishing village in Java, where the shell artisans sustainably harvest the shells and shape them. All parts of the Capiz (jingle oysters) are used; the meat is used for food, the main part of the shell for artisan crafting and the shell waste for fertilizer. Only full-grown shells are harvested from the kelp beds, which provides more space and food source for the young ones to grow.
