A slow-turning circle of warm teak grain frames the ancient sign of balance, catching light in a faceted crystal and answering the wind with a small bronze-toned bell. Hang it near a window or in the garden and let it soften a corner of the day.
- Design: A Yin Yang cut from a single disc of teak, with a faceted crystal prism suspended in the upper curve and a bronze-toned bell strung below on wooden beads.
- Size: 9.75"X9.75"X1.25" (Circle); 26.5" Top to Bottom
- Material: Wood — recycled teak, with a crystal prism and a small bronze-toned bell.
- Features: Recycled teak with visible natural grain, faceted crystal that scatters rainbows in direct sun, plastic-free construction, ready to hang from a braided cord.
The Yin Yang holds the teaching that opposites — light and shadow, movement and rest, giving and receiving — are two halves of one whole, each carrying a seed of the other. Suited to meditation corners, sunlit windows, sheltered porches, and anyone drawn to daily reminders of balance.
Care: Wipe the wood with a soft dry cloth and keep the crystal clean with a lint-free wipe; bring indoors during heavy weather to protect the finish.
Disclaimer: Handmade from natural recycled teak — grain, tone, and small variations are part of the character of each piece.
Meaning & Intention
The Yin Yang is one of the oldest visual teachings of balance — a single circle divided into two flowing halves that hold and complete each other. Yin is the receptive, cool, inward current; Yang is the active, bright, outward one. Neither exists without the other, and the small dot inside each half is a reminder that every state carries the seed of its opposite. Cut from a single disc of teak, the shape becomes a slow-moving meditation on wholeness rather than a hard line between light and shadow.
The suspended crystal prism adds a second symbolic layer — the ordinary daylight that strikes the glass is broken into colour and returned to the room, a small daily image of how one thing becomes many. The bronze-toned bell beneath answers the breeze with a soft note, marking the movement between quiet and sound. Together, wood, light, and tone speak the same idea in three languages.
Hung in a window or above a meditation cushion, this piece becomes a quiet anchor for the day. In the morning it catches the first low light and throws small rainbows onto the wall; in the afternoon it turns slowly on its cord, a moving reminder that stillness and motion belong to the same circle. The bell only rings when the air stirs enough to move it, so its voice becomes a gentle cue to look up from whatever is holding your attention.
Recycled teak carries its own quiet story — reclaimed from earlier lives and shaped again by hand, it holds the marks of time in its grain. Living with a piece like this invites a softer relationship with the objects around you: fewer things, more meaning, and a daily practice of noticing the small shifts of light, air, and mood that a busier eye would miss.

Questions & Guidance
How large is this sun catcher?
The teak Yin Yang disc measures 9.75" wide by 9.75" tall and 1.25" thick. From the top of the hanging cord to the bottom of the bell, the full drop is 26.5".
What is it made of?
The Yin Yang disc is hand-shaped from recycled teak. It is finished with a faceted crystal prism suspended in the upper curve and a small bronze-toned bell strung on wooden beads below. The piece is plastic-free in its construction.
Can I hang it outdoors?
Yes — it is often hung on a covered porch, under an eave, or on a sheltered patio so the crystal can catch direct sunlight. For the longest life of the wood finish, we recommend bringing it indoors during heavy rain, snow, or strong wind.
Does the crystal actually cast rainbows?
When direct sunlight passes through the faceted crystal it separates into small spectrums, scattering colour across nearby walls and surfaces. The effect is strongest in the morning or late afternoon when the sun sits low and hits the prism at an angle.
Does the bell ring on its own?
This piece is more of a chime-inspired hanging than a working wind chime — it needs more than a gentle breeze to sound. A firmer gust or a light touch will draw a soft note from the bell.
What does the Yin Yang symbolise?
The Yin Yang represents the balance of complementary forces — light and shadow, stillness and motion, rest and action. The small dot in each half is a reminder that every state carries a seed of its opposite, making the design a quiet daily cue for balance and harmony.
How should I care for it?
Wipe the teak with a soft dry cloth to lift dust, and use a lint-free cloth on the crystal to keep the facets clear. Avoid harsh cleaners on the wood so the natural grain and finish stay intact.
