Sun, Moon and Stars Ceramic Wind Chime (Peru)
Add a celestial touch to your deck, porch, or bedroom with the Sun, Moon, and Stars Ceramic wind chime.
One side of the wind chime has the Sun and the reverse has the Moon. Its soothing sounds will relax and calm you down when you are in a bad mood or you just want to take a break from the busy world.
The wind chime is made by artisans in a small village of Peru. They use ceramic clay and fire it at elevated temperatures. Then, each piece is hand-textured and hand-painted using different types of enamels and pigments. The artisans pay great attention to detail to achieve a high level of quality, resulting in a stunning finished product.
The Story Behind The Product
Gabriel works with his wife and 9 other craftsmen in Lima, Peru. Gabriel learned the art of ceramics from his father, continuing the tradition of passing this knowledge down from father to son. This art was used by the Incas for ceremonial offerings and ornaments. Gabriel?s clay comes from providers in Lima and Cuzco. The main source of business for Gabriel and the other 10 artisans who work with him and depend on the sale of these products is Worldstock. These 11 artists hope that you will find as much joy in owning their creations as they did in creating them.

The chimes I purchased were beautiful and had a great sound, but it took three times to get them delivered. Luckily, time was NOT of the essence, since the Christmas holiday had come and gone, and once they were finally received, they were music to the recipient's ears. Wonderfully crafted and colorfully painted, they really are a sight to see as they tinkle in the wind. Thank you, and I'll be sure to shop Overstock.com again, for even though there was a slight delivery problem, the staff corrected it and got the job done!

This chime piece will brighten up any patio or a babies room. I gave the chimes to a collector and the collector enjoyed the chimes very much. Thank you.

Bought this for myself Jan 2007 to hang in my bathroom window. The colors are true to the picture. It's a bit pricey for a wind chime but it's well made, on the heavy side and the chimes produced a pleasant sound.

I ordered the wind chimes for my niece. Her tastes are unique so this gift was a perfect match for her! The best thing is that I knew from the pictures exactly what to expect!

Was not overly impressed with this item. I think it was not worth the money spent. The look was very "cheap" and they certainly were not. We have them hanging but I have not heard the chime of any kind of windchime. Would not recommend these.
