This stunning vintage ornament captures the glamorous sparkle of mid-century holiday décor. Wrapped in vivid emerald green satin thread and embellished with shimmering gold trim, faux pearls, and faceted green crystals, it’s a true retro treasure. The swirling beaded design gives it a whimsical, almost regal charm — perfect for adding a bold, Eclectic Whimsy touch to your holiday tree or display.
Hand-crafted in the 1960s–1970s, likely from a Walco or LeeWards DIY kit, this ornament reflects the era’s Hollywood Regency flair — when Christmas decorations were meant to dazzle from every angle. It sits on small gold ball “feet,” allowing it to display beautifully on a mantel, tabletop, or within a festive vignette.
