Crafting Coastal Elegance in Newport

Chimes of Newport was born from a lifelong love of the ocean and a desire to create something beautiful from its offerings. What started as a simple hobby of collecting driftwood and shells during beach walks evolved into a mission to design handcrafted wind chimes that sing with the gentle coastal breeze. The initial spark ignited when friends and family began to admire our creations, encouraging us to share our art with a wider audience.

We proudly serve a community of affluent homeowners and coastal decor enthusiasts who value quality and artistry in their living spaces. Our clients cherish unique, handcrafted pieces that bring a touch of the Atlantic’s natural essence into their homes. From festival attendees who connect with the spirit of Newport to local residents looking for home accents, we aim to enrich the lives of those who appreciate the beauty of nature.

About Me

Gathered by the Tide, Crafted by Hand

For Tina Tillinghast, every piece of driftwood tells a story of the Atlantic. What began as a personal ritual of beachcombing the Newport shores has evolved into a passion for preserving the rugged, natural beauty of the coast. By pairing salt-washed wood with the clarity of raw crystals, Tina creates one-of-a-kind melodic treasures that bring the spirit of the ocean into your home. Every chime is a collaboration with nature—hand-gathered, hand-strung, and born from the rhythm of the sea.
