Aqua Turtle Carving & Capiz Shell Wind Chime

Hung where the breeze can reach it, this wind chime pairs a hand-carved aqua turtle with a run of capiz shell discs that catch the light as they turn. It is made from driftwood, raffia cord and pinewood beads, handcrafted in Indonesia, and hangs to around 45-48 cm.

Energetic properties

Many people believe that the sound of a wind chime helps clear stagnant or negative energy from a room or entryway, encouraging a calmer atmosphere. The turtle is traditionally read as a symbol of steadiness and long life across several cultures, which adds a quiet meaning to a piece that is otherwise simply decorative.

How to use

• Hang near a window, door or covered porch where air can move freely around it.
• Keep it out of prolonged direct sun and heavy rain, since driftwood and shell are natural materials that can fade or weather with time.
• Lift it by the top cord rather than the shells when moving or repositioning it.
