A personalized family ornament in glass, round, with your photograph in full colour. Three sizes are made, and on this design the choice between them matters more than on any other, because a family ornament has to hold several faces at once.
At the largest size a family of four gets well under an inch of width each, which is enough to recognise people and not enough to study them. Crop tighter than feels comfortable and take the large rather than the small. A circle removes all four corners of a photograph, so nothing important should sit near an edge, and on a row of people the ends are the first to go.
Glass at this thickness is translucent, so a tree light behind the ornament shows through the picture. That is the argument for glass over metal, and it is also why a photograph with dark areas works better here than one that is mostly pale: the dark parts hold the image together when light comes through them.
A branch takes any of the three sizes without bending, which is not true of the crystal ornaments in the range. The trade is that glass is brittle rather than flexible, so it hangs higher than a dog's tail in a house with one, and out of reach of small children. The photo keeps its full colour, which on a tree is most of what an ornament contributes.
Send the original file rather than a copy forwarded through a messaging app. A family grows, and the usual pattern is one ornament a year rather than one ornament, so it is worth settling on a shape at the first purchase.
Heart, bell, square, octagon, paw and bone ornaments are made in the same glass and the same three sizes. An ornament is brought out and put away once a year, which is why the box it arrives in is worth keeping. Order early, since December post runs slower than the rest of the year and an ornament has a date that cannot move.
There are seven outlines. Heart, round, square, octagon, bell, bone and paw. Any combination of shapes can go into one set. Ten per cent off at two, fifty at fifteen. Colour Enhancement is an optional extra, $1.99 per image.
