Customer Reviews
I am so pleased with this purchase. These look like real icicles. I love the way they catch light when I hold them up. I can't wait to use them on the Christmas tree next year. I know they will be a beautiful addition.

These ornaments are so adorable!! The look exactly like real icicles. I have not actually had a chance to put them on the tree since I bought them after Christmas but can't wait until next year. If you are on the the fence try them they are great.
I absolutely love these! They were gorgeous on my vintage Christmas tree, but would be a great addition to any tree. They positively sparkle with the tree lights. And I love that they are recycled and fair trade. These will now be a Christmas tradition in our house.

I bought these last year for a gift but when I saw how pretty they were, I couldn't resist keeping them. I hung them up for the first time this year and they look great. Unfortunately 1 long icicle came with the bottom third of it broken off. Also you have to attach the thin copper wires that are included in the box. Mine didn't come with enough so I used some regular ornament hooks. Otherwise, the packaging and the ornaments are pretty and high quality. I see the price has jumped since I bought them. I was thinking of getting another box but will wait until there's a coupon...
