Description
The Isa is a Christmas tree topper shaped as a star, folded from gold paper into sharp ridges so every point shows a bright face and a shaded one. It stands 33cm tall, 21cm long and 5.5cm wide, and it rises from a coiled spring in silver steel that holds it upright at the very top of the tree. It has no lamp socket, so it is a decoration rather than a light, with no bulb to fit and no plug needed. Its IP20 rating means it belongs indoors and dry, which is exactly where most Christmas trees live.
Set it on a real or artificial tree in the living room, hallway or dining room, anywhere the tree stands indoors and away from damp. The gold paper sits happily beside warm white lights and traditional baubles, and a star keeps the look classic rather than novelty, so it suits a family tree that gets dressed the same way each year. The paper gives a gentle sheen rather than the hard glitter of tinsel, a good choice if you prefer a calmer, more natural tree.
The construction is simple: a paper star on a thin steel stem that ends in a tightly wound coil. The coil slips over the top shoot of the tree, so the star stands straight without ties. At 0.05KG it adds almost no weight to the tip, which matters on a slender real tree whose leading shoot bends easily. Paper softens when it gets wet, so keep the star clear of the watering can when you top up a real tree's stand. Once Christmas has passed, we suggest storing it in a box where nothing presses against the points, so the folds stay crisp for next year.

Frequently Asked
Does the Isa star give any light?
No. It has no lamp socket, so it is purely a decoration, with no bulb to fit and nothing that needs power.
How does the topper fix to the tree?
A coiled spring in silver steel sits beneath the star and slips over the top shoot of the tree, holding the star upright.
How big is the star?
The topper is 33cm tall, 21cm long and 5.5cm wide, and it weighs just 0.05KG, so it suits even a slim tree.
Can it go on an outdoor tree?
No. It is rated IP20 and the star is made of paper, so it belongs on an indoor tree that is kept dry.
What material is the star?
The star is folded from gold paper, and the stem and spring that hold it are steel in a silver colour.
