What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise this chime for its exceptional design and visual appeal. The small square capiz shells are celebrated because they beautifully refract light, establishing a delicate coastal ambiance that instantly enhances any space. While the sound is subtle and soothing, the main attraction is clearly the superior visual quality and craftsmanship. Buyers consider this a high quality decorative accent, valuing its unique texture and refined appearance.
Know before you buy
Capiz shells are naturally resilient, but because they are delicate, they are best suited for sheltered outdoor areas like a porch or balcony. They will hold up well in light breezes, but it is recommended to bring them inside during high winds or severe storms to prevent breakage.
Because it is made from thin, lightweight shells, this chime produces a soft, delicate tinkling sound rather than a deep, resonant tone. It is designed to be soothing and subtle, making it ideal for quiet spaces.
The chime comes ready to hang with an integrated hook at the top. It is lightweight, so it can be easily mounted on a standard ceiling hook, a small nail, or a plant bracket.
The shells are authentic Capiz and are treated with a finish to achieve the Lilac, Blue, and Turquoise hues. This process enhances the natural pearlescent shimmer of the shells while ensuring the color remains vibrant.
To keep the shells looking their best, gently wipe them with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the delicate surface and the finish of the shells.
