Tree of Life Brass Wind Chime 25 cm

A brass wind chime centred on a large Tree of Life motif, handcrafted in Agra, India. At 25cm, this is a substantial piece — the detailed tree design is adorned with colourful beads, and multiple brass bells hang beneath, producing a gentle, melodic sound when caught by a breeze or touched by hand. What You'll Notice The Tree of Life design is intricately detailed in solid brass — branches spread outward from a central trunk, creating a piece that works as wall art even in still air when the bells are silent. Each bell produces a soft, clear tone rather than a sharp clang. Together, the bells create a layered, harmonic chime that's calming rather than intrusive. Colourful beads are strung between the tree motif and the bells, adding visual warmth and a sense of craft that catches the eye from across a room or garden. Brass develops a natural patina over time, deepening from bright gold to a warmer, antique tone — the chime becomes more characterful the longer you have it. Brass, Beads, and Bells Crafted from solid brass by artisan families in Agra, India — a city with a long tradition of decorative metalwork. The Tree of Life centrepiece is cast and finished by hand, with each branch individually detailed. Colourful glass or resin beads are strung on the hanging cords between the tree and the bells. The overall length is 25cm. Each piece varies slightly due to the handmade process — bead colours, bell placement, and the depth of detail in the tree design may differ from piece to piece. Where to Hang It Indoors, hang near a window or in a doorway where passing air or movement will occasionally set the bells ringing. The sound is gentle enough for a bedroom, meditation space, or living room. Outdoors, it works on a sheltered porch, balcony, or under a garden canopy — though prolonged exposure to rain will accelerate the natural patina on the brass. A small hook or nail is all you need for mounting. The Tree of Life The Tree of Life appears across cultures and centuries — from Celtic knotwork to Hindu scripture to Kabbalistic tradition. It consistently represents interconnection, growth, and the relationship between roots and branches, earth and sky. In Indian decorative arts, the motif is often rendered in brass with particular attention to the symmetry and spread of the branches. This chime draws on that tradition, combining symbolic meaning with functional craft — it's both a piece of meaningful wall art and a musical instrument activated by the wind. Dimensions and Craft The chime measures 25cm in total length. The brass used is solid, not plated, which means the weight gives it a quality feel in the hand and ensures durability over years of use. Because each piece is made individually by artisan metalworkers, no two are exactly alike — slight variations in the tree's proportions, bead arrangement, and bell tone are marks of genuine handcraft rather than flaws. A Gift with Meaning The Tree of Life symbolism makes this chime a thoughtful gift for milestones — new homes, new beginnings, or moments of personal growth. It also suits anyone who appreciates handmade Indian metalwork, meditation practice, or simply wants to add a gentle, occasional sound to their living space. Common Questions Will the brass tarnish over time? Yes — brass naturally develops a darker, warmer patina with age. Many people prefer this aged look. If you want to maintain the bright gold finish, a gentle polish with a brass cleaner will restore it. How loud are the bells? They produce a soft, melodic chime rather than a loud ring. The sound carries gently across a room but won't disturb sleep or conversation — it's designed to be noticed pleasantly, not to demand attention. Can I hang this outdoors permanently? Brass is weather-resistant and won't rust, so outdoor use is fine. The patina will develop faster outdoors, and the beads may fade slightly with prolonged sun exposure. A sheltered spot extends its original appearance. Is the Tree of Life a religious symbol? It appears in many traditions but isn't exclusive to any single religion. It's broadly understood as a symbol of growth, connection, and the cycles of nature — making it a universally appreciated motif.
