Description
Our gold coral stem is an artificial Christmas stem made from polyethylene and iron, with a slim, straight stalk that opens near the top into fine, twiggy sprays shaped like branching sea coral. It is 61cm long and 25cm across at its widest point, so it brings real height to an arrangement without crowding a table. The sprays sit in loose clusters along the upper half, and the tip turns in a gentle curve, which keeps the outline open and airy rather than dense. At 0.05KG it weighs almost nothing, so a slim bottle vase is all it needs.
It belongs with the Christmas decorations: stand it in a tall vase on the mantelpiece, along a sideboard or on a hall table, or use it to give height to a centrepiece on the dining table. Its gold sits warmly beside candles and fairy lights, and it mixes easily with artificial greenery, pine cones or dried stems when you want a fuller winter display. Because it is artificial, it does not wilt or drop, so it suits anyone who decorates early and wants the arrangement to look the same on the last day of the season as on the first.
The care advice matters. Before you display it, the maker asks that the stem be trimmed and its branches folded into place, so take a few minutes to cut the stalk to suit your vase and bend each spray out until the shape looks right. The twigs are fine, so handle it with care while you shape it to avoid breaking them, and hold it by the stalk rather than the sprays when you move it. Once it is set, a single stem in a narrow vase looks simple and deliberate on a shelf, while three or more gathered in a wide jar make a fuller spray for a table or the end of a sideboard.
