Another ornament from our tree, this one is a beautiful depiction of Bethlehem. I received this from my hubby’s mom years ago (it’s dated 2000). It’s 18K gold, the gold is paper thin which makes this an extremely delicate piece. It’s about 3 inches tall, 2 1/2 inches wide or so, and about 1/2 inch deep, designed like a shadowbox. The north star is its own piece and hangs from the top center of the arch. It’s hard to see all the details of this piece, but the photograph captured the mood that the ornament brings to the tree so I didn’t want to modify it at all for the sake of detail.
It’s quite lovely, I actually keep this one out all year.
Now that I’m sharing my ornaments, will you be sharing yours? Tell me about your favorite ornaments as I post mine for you, and let me know if you post any pics of them on your own blog, would you? 🙂

that is absolutely beautiful and i can see quite a bit of the detail. i was’nt planning on posting any ornaments, but i guess i could. i do have a few favorites, i’ll take some pics and let you know when they’re up.
Gorgeous! 🙂 And yes, as soon as I break my ornaments out I’ll share… They’ve been shut up in boxes for four years now, so I can’t wait to set ’em free. 😀
Very pretty! It looks so fragile!:grin:
Can’t wait to see more.
I love that ornament! Great idea on the pics. I’ll take a few and post them as well- hopefully tomorrow but I’ll let you know.:hug:
beautiful. i have already taken some pictures. not sure i’ll share or not.
Gorgeous photo! I’ve never photographed my ornaments. Must try to find time for that this year.
Ooh!! I have a few ornaments that are similar.
I LOVE your idea and when we get our tree up, I will post some pictures too. Thanks :cheerful:
I’m a slacker getting the tree up, but I’ll post some when it’s done. I have a series that my Mom gave me that looks very similar. They are my favorites!:yes:
I’m not breaking mine out yet, but I do love the straw ornaments I put on the Hanukkah tree that I got in Germany. My husband has many sentimental favorites. My childhood ones are no longer around. I think yours is beautiful.
What a beautiful ornament! I can see why you would want to keep it out all year. I’m hoping to start decorating for the holidays tomorrow (finally). I have a few favorite ornaments and it will be fun decorating this year with the little one! :cheerful:
P.S. I hope you all feel better soon. :cold::sad:
It’s beautiful and really does look like Bethlehem. I was there many moons ago.
This is a beautiful ornament! I’d keep it out all year, too 😀
