Smoky Ghana Krobo Bead Wind Chime for Patio or Garden - Housewarming, Retirement, Birthday Gift
- Description
Bring soft neutral colors and calming sounds to your outdoor oasis with this handcrafted glass wind chime featuring African beads from the Krobo tribe in Ghana. These artisans support their community by melting crushed glass in underground kilns. The beads are slightly translucent, in smoky gray, and beautifully irregular, adding unique charm and character. Anchored by two pieces of opaque glass with streaks of cream, gray and tan with a hint of blue/green.
When hung from a hook, nail, or tree branch, the glass pieces gently tap together in the breeze, creating a soft, melodic “clink” that brings a meditative atmosphere to your patio, porch, garden, balcony, or pergola.
A thoughtful gift for any occasion—ideal for housewarmings, memorials, retirements, or simply as a special addition to your own garden or outdoor retreat.

FAQ
What is the best way to hang a Cinjo wind chime?
The wind chimes are a simple design - one long wire covered in beads with glass pieces at each end. The middle of the wire is draped over a nail or hook or from a small tree branch. The glass pieces clink together to create a subtle sound while the beads reflect the sunlight. You want the pieces of glass to be close enough to generate the sound.
Do the glass wind chimes break?
Glass items are fragile and can break. Please handle with care. Try to avoid hanging wind chimes very close to stationary objects that could be hit by the glass and cause breakage. A protected area is best. However, fused glass is very strong and can hold up to most situations without breaking or chipping if hung with room to move in wind.
Do you use recycled packaging?
While our first priority is to ensure your order arrives undamaged, we do use recycled boxes and packaging materials whenever possible. If you would prefer we not do this, please let us know.
What is "fused glass"?
Fused glass is glass that has been heat formed in a kiln. Also known as "warm glass" or "kiln-formed glass".
