The Bauble That Changes Colour Every Time You Walk Past.

Charmed House Interiors · Ornaments

Soft green glass finished with an iridescent lustre that shifts through gold, aquamarine and pale pink as the light moves. The hanging loop is drawn from the glass itself rather than capped in metal, which gives it a hand-blown, gallery-piece quality. Quietly luminous — more soap bubble than bauble.

The one people pick up to look at properly.

Style note — the tree: Hang near the lights so the lustre has something to catch and refract.

Style note — the window: Suspend a few at staggered heights where daylight can move through them.

Two Ways to Style It

On a soft green-and-gold tree. Cluster with frosted pine, brass stars and clear glass so the iridescence reads as light rather than colour.

In a pared-back, contemporary room. Hang a group of three from a branch or curtain pole against a pale wall — sculptural, seasonal and barely festive at all.
