Description
This little ceramic bell ornament has a simple cross cut through its front, so light passes through the opening and the small ring that holds the clapper shows inside. Its arched body has a soft matt finish in a pale stone colour, with a fine gold-toned band around the rim and the clapper hanging just below. A round charm stamped with a heart set within a rose hangs at the top, and a gold-toned bead and a cream bead sit on the twisted cord above it. It measures 7.6cm tall, 8cm wide and 5.1cm deep.
We like it hung indoors from a window latch, a cupboard knob, a dresser hook or a peg by the bedside, where the cross catches the light and the bell gives a soft ring whenever it is brushed. As a gift it suits the moments when words alone feel too little: tucked into an Easter basket, given as a thoughtful Mother's Day or Father's Day present, or offered as a quiet token for someone celebrating their retirement. The cross lends it a gentle note of faith without any fuss, and the soft stone colour sits happily in almost any room.
The bell is made of ceramic, with the cross opening cut cleanly through the wall and the gold-toned band neatly finishing the lower edge. The cord is knotted through the top with a loop at the end, so it is ready to hang straight away. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth or wipe it gently with a barely damp one, and handle it as you would any ceramic piece, since it can chip if dropped. We would wrap it in tissue with a handwritten card, or tie it to the handle of a gift bag as a finishing touch that lasts long after the paper is gone.
