Capiz Shell and Coconut Wood Wind Chimes (Indonesia)


Some 70 years ago several fishing families moved from Madura to Java's Eastern coast because of the profusion of sea life there. During stormy weather they would mend their nets and make handicrafts. Capiz shells, or Jingle Oysters, grow like weeds in shallow sea beds. Before the fishermen got creative, capiz shells were only collected for the meat and the shells were discarded. Now nothing is wasted and they employ the shells in crafts such as these wind chimes.

  • Capiz shell and coconut wind chimes make beautiful tinkling sounds in the wind
  • Six strands of multicolored faintly iridescent capiz shells hang from a circular coconut wood fixture
  • Choose from three capiz shell color combinations: Cream, brown, and lavender; Cream, brown, and orange/tan; and brown, cream, turquoise, green, and light green
  • Shells are stranded together and fastened to coconut wood with clear fishing string
  • Ready to hang
  • Handmade in Bali, Indonesia
  • Wind chimes measure approximately 24 inches high by 4.5 inches wide

I loved the wind chimes and I gave one away as a gift. They loved them too. The sound is lovely, calming and they appear to be well constructed and durable. The colors are pretty and they make me happy when I hear them.

Gorgeous but not too durable,  May 2, 2008

Ordered the turquoise last year and hung it four months in the Summer. This year, I put it out, and it already broke. I found it broken on the porch. It is a very pretty color and the chimes sound lovely in the wind. However, I would consider putting it inside a window frame away from excessive outside elements. The line needs to be stronger and be able to withstand the wind and rain.

A little pricey,  Dec 20, 2007

A lovely little gift item, but it is smaller than I would have thought, and it's rather expensive for what it is. Nice, light sound and beautiful colors. Not sure how it would hold up in the elements, as it's rather delicate, but perfect for a screened-in porch or to hang in a window.

I ordered 10 of these to use as office and neighbor gifts, one for myself of course. They're beautiful and have a delicate sound to them. I don't know yet about the durability, but I loved them!

They are really pretty and have a beautiful sound. Thought they would be bigger ,and they don't look very sturdy, better put them underneath a covered porch, where they will be more protected from the weather. They do look good.
