Filed under: Decor, Holiday Guides

On display in Osaka, Japan is one pricey holiday trinket. The 24K gold tree glistens with 240 jewels including diamond baubles and a string of pearls bringing its value to £1 million. Sitting in Ginza Tanaka jewelry shop, it luxuriously beckons patrons to keep the holiday shopping spirit alive even with the gloom of tough economic times. Mimicked after a fir with five golden tiers it took four filigree artists three months to fashion the 1.5 meter tall tree. The glittering pine will remain on display until Christmas Day after which it will be available for purchase.

The Flatpack Christmas Tree

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor, Green

I'm all for live, green, piney-smelling needle-dropping Christmas trees myself, but if you're not then this Flatpack Christmas Tree might be an interesting option. I'm not sure what kind of home decor this sort of tree would look best in -- I'm thinking something contemporary, but it's awfully plain and unexciting looking. And how do you decorate it? I have to say I think it makes one ugly Christmas tree, but as a general decor item it could be really cool. Available from Büro North in 3 sizes ranging from 1' to 7.5' it may be eco-friendly but that doesn't mean it's cheap: $1414 for the full-sized version.

Steve Quick Gold and Diamond Christmas Tree

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Jewelry, Charity

Steve Quick Jeweler becomes the latest company to create a diamond Christmas tree. The Quick tree is made of five pounds of solid 18K gold (which is reclaimed gold) with diamond-briolette ornaments and a layer of 200 carats of diamonds that form a glittering dusting of snow. The tree is topped with a 4.52 carat stone set in a platinum star. Steve Quick Jewelers estimates the tree at being valued over $500,000 (making it cheaper than the $1.8 million tree we saw recently). The tree is being unveiled at the Steve Quick store in Chicago on December 7th and will be on display in the store throughout the season. Starting on December 17th the tree will be auctioned off on eBay with 100% of the profits going to the American Cancer Society.

If the tree is too expensive for your budget you could pick up mini versions of the tree in sterling silver or gold-plated for $25 or in 14K gold for $195.

Xmas Light

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

In the spirit of the season, designer Tord Boontje has come up with the Xmas Light. Shaped like a Christmas tree, it is made up of a mass of bright white stars and snowflakes. The shade, which looks quite like it is made of paper snowflakes, is tear, temperature and water resistant, as well as reflective enough to allow a good amount of light through it to light up a room while also retaining a bright glow within the "tree" itself. It measures 18-in. across and 30-in. high. Price: $85.

Spode Coaster Set

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor, Dining

Instead of going all-out with Christmas decorations, it's nice to just have a couple little touches around the house to give things a festive atmosphere. Spode has a lovely line of Christmas Tree plates and tableware, but their coaster set is a piece that really works well as a stand-alone item. The set includes four coasters and a stand with a 3D Christmas tree that, of course, matches the coasters' design. Best of all, the seasonal set is only $25.
