An oyster cracked open around a single pearl is about as elegant as an oyster ornament gets. It suits a coastal house, a neutral tree, or anyone drawn to the quieter end of holiday decorating. Hang it on a wreath, set it at a place setting for a raw bar dinner, or tie it to a gift box instead of a bow.
Perfect for: coastal homes, anniversary gifts, hostess gifts, neutral tree styling, oyster roast hosts, and ornament exchanges.
This oyster ornament is a glass ornament from Old World Christmas, mouth-blown into a carved mold, hand-painted, and glittered in a tradition that began in the 1800s. Pearls form slowly and rarely inside a living oyster, which makes them a fitting thing to hang up once a year. It comes with a keepsake box and hangs from a standard hook.
Pair it with a shell or a bauble in the same neutral range, then browse our nautical and coastal decor alongside more Christmas ornaments.
