Set of 3 Under the Sea Glass Christmas Tree Decorations - Blue

This set of three glass Christmas tree decorations brings a little of the seaside to the branches: a hermit crab, a sea turtle and a spiral seashell, each made from glass and dressed in sparkle. The hermit crab peers out from a ribbed turquoise blue shell, its orange legs and claws scattered with gold glitter and its round black eyes bright. The sea turtle is mint and aqua green, its shell rimmed in gold and topped with a cluster of iridescent sequins, its flippers spread wide as if gliding through water. The seashell is a tall spiral in pale pink and iridescent white with a pale blue tip, crusted with glitter from point to opening. The decorations measure 13cm high, 12.6cm wide and 10cm deep, so they hold their own among larger baubles.

We think they look happiest on a tree with a coastal feel, mixed in with blues, silvers and whites, or hung among plain glass baubles where their colours can stand out. They work just as well away from the tree: hang them from a garland along the mantelpiece, from a bare branch in a vase or from a hook by a window, where the glitter catches the light. Given as a Christmas gift, the three pieces make a ready-made little seaside scene for someone's tree.

Each decoration has a silver cap at the top with a fine hanging cord already threaded through, so it is ready to loop straight over a branch. Being glass, they are best hung on firm branches where they will not be knocked. Dust them with a soft dry cloth, and wrap each one in tissue paper when the tree comes down so they stay in good order for next year. Space the three across the tree at different heights and they read like finds along the tideline.
