The first commercial ornaments for Christmas trees were actually hollow, brightly colored containers that held good things to eat. The most popular being the cornucopia. Select this link to view our Glass Drop Finial Ornaments.
When the goodies got too heavy for the tree, German glassblowers began manufacturing the first glass ornaments, which are the main feature of Christmas tree decorating today. Select this link to view our Twisted Metal Ornament Trees.
Beads.
A bead is a small, decorative object that is pierced for threading or stringing. Beads range in size from under a millimeter to over a centimeter or sometimes several centimeters in diameter. Glass, plastic and stone are probably the most common materials, but beads are also made from bone, horn, ivory, metal, shell, pearl, coral, gemstones, polymer clay, metal clay, resin, synthetic minerals, wood, ceramic, fiber, paper, and seeds. A set of beads made from Nassarius shells, which are approximately 100,000 years old, are thought to be the first known examples of jewelry.

The Christmas Tree.
The Christmas tree originated in Germany in the 1800’s. For many it is the focal point of their Christmas decorations and festivities. Originally in the Old World, Europeans adorned their trees with cookies, fruits, and candles. In the 1850’s, German craftsmen perfected the art of glass blown ornaments, and soon Christmas trees shimmered with beautiful glass ornaments. Today’s modern Christmas tree holds lights and ornaments of all varieties and all colors of the spectrum while beneath it are wondrous gifts. A symbol of triumph over winter’s bitter cold, the Christmas evergreen has long inspired hope in the hearts of man. Select this link to view our Beaded Christmas Ornaments.
