Crystal Ornaments Thru The Years
Crystal and glass ornaments have been around since the mid-1800s when g
lass makers discovered that silvering the inside of the glass shapes changed the refractive properties and added colors. Since trees had few candles to light them, for obvious reasons, adding the reflected glint via crystals exponentially increased the ambient light from the room.
The holidays bring out many nostalgic feelings and, especially in the US, elderly grandparents remember tough times in the Great Depression when something shiny was a bit exciting. Toy trains, bright ornaments and a few simple gifts were a treat for every home. Thus crystal ornaments carry a bit of wonder and history if they are passed down to the next generation.

Hand painted Christmas ornaments became the rage and were considered valuable even though their true cost was not high. In the Great Depression, a simple addition of glass artwork may be all the family could afford to give each other. It is not surprising that the surviving old fashioned decorations appeal to many family’s sense of history and toughness for making it through that period.
Properties
Crystal ornaments are very fragile, but its delicate nature may add to its appeal for Christmas trees. One of the lovely things about glass on trees is the way it reflects the lights. Clear and colored glass Christmas ornaments will allow the lights to shine and sparkle on the tree. Many glass decorations have been cut, engraved and treated to enhance the refractive properties. This is apparent when you consider Swarovski or Waterford crystal ornaments.
Variety
There are dozens of styles to choose from including crystal glass, plain glass, and glass sculpture. Nearly any shape can be made, but the most common are the ball, painted shapes, icicles, stars, angels and glass beads used to create decorative strings. With destinations, anniversary, birth and even movie themed ornaments, one can find a crystal that shows the uniqueness of the home and person.
Holiday Collections
With brand names such as Lenox, Waterford and Wedgewood, a whole industry of collectible ornaments has risen in the past 20 years. This includes crystal not only for trees, but around the table, nativity scenes, gifts and engraved items to mark a point in time. Sets such as “Baby’s First Christmas” and annual tree topping stars are most popular.
