They are not just a Christmas decoration any more! Made in China! There's a glass loop on top for hanging. String not included. Each piece is unique, so you're choosing a style, not an exact duplicate. But they're pretty close. This one has sharp little edges on it so it is not recommended as a kitten or puppy toy. Mix and match the glass balls and prisms. 6 will fit in a flat rate regional postal box while 48 is a case. A case usually goes UPS. Click here to meet the siblings!
