Celestial Worlds, Guiding Stars & Protective Eyes: A Holiday Collection of Meaning
Every December, the Christmas tree becomes more than decoration.
It becomes a map of memories, symbols, and stories — a place where the things we love, believe in, and reach toward gather quietly among the branches. At BON TON goods, our holiday collections celebrate this tradition by bringing together ornaments that reflect the sky above, the world around us, and the folklore that protects us.
This year, three themes shine especially bright: globes, moons, and protective eyes — handcrafted pieces that feel timeless, poetic, and full of meaning.
🌙 The Moon as Guide and Mystery
For centuries, the moon has been a symbol of hope in the darkness — a companion for travelers, a marker of seasons, and a source of quiet magic.
Our hand-painted glass moons capture this feeling with luminous color, expressive faces, and gentle sparkle. Each is shaped and painted by hand, echoing the old European traditions of Lauscha and Thuringian glassmaking.
These moons feel alive: glowing, mystical, slightly theatrical, and entirely enchanting.
Placed on the tree, they become beacons — soft, golden crescents that hold the wonder of winter nights.
The moon reminds us to look up.
To follow light.
To trust in renewal.
And perhaps most importantly — to add a little magic to the season.
🌍 Globes: A Celebration of the World We Share
If the moon represents dreams, the globe represents the world we move through — vast, beautiful, and endlessly connected.
Our globe ornaments, whether glittered, antiqued, or rendered in metallic blown glass, invite a sense of exploration and nostalgia. They recall old atlases, vintage voyages, and the joy of imagining far-off places.
There is a comforting symbolism here:
At the holidays, we gather — in cities, across seas, across time zones — and the world feels both larger and closer.
The glass globes in our collection carry that sentiment.
They shimmer with continents and coastlines, stories and possibilities.
They remind us of the beauty of travel, the ties between people, and the hope of new horizons waiting in the year to come.
👁 Protective Eyes: Symbols of Watchfulness & Good Fortune
Across cultures and centuries, the protective eye — sometimes called the evil eye charm, sometimes a talisman of luck — has been worn and displayed to guard against negativity and invite blessings.
Our embroidered and beaded eye ornaments reinterpret this ancient symbol with artistry and joy.
Sparkling sequins, hand-stitched details, pearls, and bold colors transform the protective eye into something celebratory and modern, yet deeply rooted in tradition.
Placed on the tree, these ornaments feel almost like guardians:
softly watching over the festivities, inviting joy, warding off heaviness, and adding a touch of unexpected glamour.
They pair beautifully with celestial motifs, bridging folklore and the cosmos in one meaningful gesture.
✨ Together, a Story of Wonder & Protection
When globes, moons, and protective eyes share a Christmas tree, something remarkable happens — the decorations tell a story.
A story about the world as it is.
A story about the sky we look to for guidance.
A story about the symbols we keep close for luck, protection, and beauty.
This trio creates a tree that feels thoughtful, artistic, and rich in meaning.
It’s worldly yet mystical.
Grounded yet imaginative.
Traditional, but in a way that feels fresh and deeply personal.
Perfect for homes that love storytelling, symbolism, and the poetry of objects.
