The 2026 Ornament of the year celebrates 40 years as business with a Zinn Brilliant Large star! (You’ll notice it looks suspiciously like our logo). It is made using our large star ornament and a custom made enamel pin. Each ornament is accented with metallic tinsel for a dynamic shimmer. It measures approximately 4 1/2” tall. Photo note: this is a prototype and the actual ornament may vary slightly as I find the right tinsel to use.

These ornaments are packed in a large box with fiberfill padding and an insert card detailing the care and history of the ornaments. Please Note: Sets may be packed in a single box.

Our website has shifted to reflect the stock we currently have! Restocks occur monthly on the last Friday of each month at 6PM EST (possibly more frequently, we shall see). Please allow up to 4 weeks for your order to ship (just in case we get swamped). All orders will ship by Christmas (said cheekily in July, and with a VERY REASSURING TONE in November). If you need your order by a certain date, please let us know at checkout and we will do our darndest!

Each mold, made out of brass and gemstones, is dipped into the surface of molten tin. A thin layer of tin solidifies on the mold, making a perfect replica in relief. We then trim and hand-paint each ornament and mount a wire with an eye loop for a hook. The result is a sparkling, highly-detailed ornament that give the illusion of being set with gemstones.

Because the ornaments are made from pure tin, they will keep their shine and brilliance for many years to come. They should be stored in their boxes during the off season in order to keep the dust off. If they get dusty (often appearing cloudy), they can be gently cleaned with a dry paint brush. The ornaments are delicate, but tend to bend instead of break (you can often fix them by gently bending them back into place). That being said, please handle them with care.

Although we strive to deliver only the nicest ornaments, they are still handmade. Please allow for some idiosyncrasies in the casting and paint job. However, if you have any problems with your ornament, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
