Green Velvet 2 5/8" (67mm) Glass Ball Ornaments - 8 Piece Set

The Evergreen Eight: Lush Green Velvet Glass Balls by Krebs

If Christmas had a signature color, green would have a very strong claim to the title. These eight sumptuous glass ball ornaments from Christmas by Krebs capture exactly the shade you picture when you close your eyes and think "Christmas tree" — a deep, rich, forest green with a velvety matte finish that practically seems to absorb the warmth of the room. Each ball is blown from molten glass using Krebs' signature seamless technique, meaning no mold lines, no rough spots, just a perfectly smooth sphere that looks like it was conjured from the heart of a pine forest. The lustrous gold crown caps are the ideal finishing touch — a quiet flash of glamour that lets the color do the talking.

Green has been the color of Christmas long before the first decorated tree appeared in a German living room in the early 1600s. The tradition stretches back through centuries of evergreen boughs brought indoors during the winter solstice — a practice shared by cultures from ancient Rome to medieval Scandinavia — as a defiant, life-affirming gesture against the dark and cold. The color wasn't just decorative; it was symbolic, carrying the promise that spring would return. When Albert and Victoria made the Christmas tree fashionable across the English-speaking world in the 1840s, they were simply giving that ancient green tradition a new and spectacular form. These ornaments feel like a direct, joyful continuation of that very long story.

Whether you use them to build a lush, monochromatic tree or mix them into a broader palette for depth and drama, a set of eight means you'll have plenty to work with — clustering beautifully together or scattered throughout the branches like hidden jewels.
