What the AI looks for in Decorative Hanging Ornaments
- Material versus household
- Choose glass for heirlooms; choose shatterproof plastic or resin around children and pets. Glass breaks into sharp shards when it falls.
- Weight versus branch
- Hang heavy figural ornaments close to the trunk on sturdy branches. Heavy pieces sag the tips of artificial branches and slip off.
- Hanger
- Prefer an attached loop or ribbon over a loose wire hook for heavy pieces. Loose hooks are the most common cause of dropped ornaments.
- Dated and boxed
- Keep the original boxes for dated collectibles. Boxes protect pieces in storage and help with identification and resale.
Brands that matter
- Hallmark Keepsake: Dated annual collectible ornaments.
- Christopher Radko: Heirloom hand-painted glass.
- Kurt S. Adler: Huge general and licensed range.
- Department 56: Village-themed and seasonal ornaments.
What to avoid
