Balls. Teardrops. Tiny chandeliers. Open this set and the variety is the first surprise, with soft tones mixed among traditional reds and greens across 24 pieces.
Some finishes shine and others are matte, and most carry raised accents or textures that catch the tree lights differently from one branch to the next. A handful wear delicate hand-painted details, the kind people tend to discover on the third or fourth look. The ornaments are glass and plastic, the longest reaching about 11 inches.
Hang them on the tree, tuck a few into a wreath, or drape them along the garland on the staircase. Wherever they land, the collection looks as though it was assembled over many Christmases, and that is exactly its charm.
