Bells + Chimes

Sound as a small ritual. This collection gathers wind chimes, hanging bell chimes, and hand bells alongside a few wall pieces that carry the same symbols. Cowbells with a deep, soothing tone. Tiered bell chimes. Wall hangings shaped as the lotus, tree of life, endless knot, unalome, chakra, and moon mandala.

About Bells + Chimes

What these are

This collection gathers wind chimes, hanging bell chimes, and hand bells, along with a small group of wall pieces built around the same sounds and symbols. You will find curved-stem wind chimes with Indian bells, tiered and double-layered bell hangings, and traditional Indian copper cowbells with a deep, low tone. Wall-hanging chimes carry familiar forms: lotus, tree of life, endless knot, unalome, chakra, seven om symbols, a wise owl, and a yoga pose. Materials are metal and mixed metals, some in a rustic recycled finish. Prices run from about $21 to $190.

How to choose

Start with the sound you want in the room. Copper cowbells give a deep, resonant tone and are often struck by hand for a single grounding note. Tiered and double-layered bell chimes carry a longer, layered ring that suits doorways and porches. Curved-stem wind chimes with small Indian bells lean brighter and lighter on a breeze. Then choose by symbol: lotus, chakra, endless knot, unalome and tree of life are traditionally associated with intentions many people set around calm, connection, transformation and wisdom.

Where to place it

Hang bell chimes near an entryway, a meditation corner, or a window where air moves. Wall hangings such as the 33-inch unalome, the namaste lotus, or the seven om piece work as a quiet focal point above an altar, a doorway, or a reading chair. Ring a hand bell or cowbell to open and close a sit, a yoga practice, or a shared meal.

Care

Keep metal pieces dry, wipe with a soft cloth, and check knots and hanging cords now and then so the bells swing freely.

Do these make good gifts?

Yes. Many of the pieces are tagged as gifts and inspirational, and the price range runs from about $21 to $190, so there are options for a small housewarming token, a welcome bell chime, or a larger wall piece for a meditation room.

How can I use a bell with an intention?

Ring a hand bell or copper cowbell once at the start of a sit or practice, name your intention silently, then ring again to close. The symbols on the wall chimes, lotus, chakra, endless knot, unalome, tree of life, can anchor the theme you are working with.

What pairs well with a wall chime?

A wall hanging such as the tree of life, chakra, or namaste lotus pairs naturally with a hand-struck cowbell or tiered bell chime nearby, so the visual symbol and the sound share the same corner of the room.
