Beaming Baubles 

 

Baubles are the crowning jewels of any Christmas tree and one of the ‘essential’ decorations. These Snow Drop Glass Christmas Baubles not only exuberate elegance, they’re made from recycled glass and are available in a variation of colours and shapes. All ready for hanging with a recycled Sari tie, they evoke feelings of Christmas past in their traditional look.

For a more dramatic composition, the Danoa Giant Baubles have a black and aged smoke finish for a simple yet sophisticated look. Another recycled glass piece, its black velvet tie makes it suitable for bay window hanging to embellish more than just the tree. 

 

Statement pieces are also a must, the Gigantic Ometti round baubles have a rustic finish but ooze elegance. Also made from recycled glass, they are perfect for hanging as a centrepiece on the fireplace or in windows. 

 

The Oko Baubles by Nkuku come in traditional red, gold and bronze colours with a tarnished and distressed finish, giving a rustic twist on the classic colours of Christmas. 

 

By contrast, the Tiko Baubles give a more contemporary feel, with an etched design they will glisten under Christmas lights. They would also look great mixed and matched with other eco-friendly Khutu Baubles. Obscure in shape and made of recycled glass they give a beautiful contrast to the classic round bauble. Finished with a brown velvet tie they have an antique feel whilst remaining effortlessly chic. 

 

The Itari Nkuku Glass Baubles blend the perfect mix of bygone and modernity. These traditional-coloured baubles are available in orange, rustic burgundy, acid orange and silver. The muted shades will flawlessly accompany your Christmas tree.
