One of Waterford Crystal's annual ornaments designed for Christmas 2004, this individually crafted star is a shimmering new treasure for collectors to add to their trees or for holiday gift-giving on a grand scale. This ornament is sculpted from a solid block of crystal, a procedure that Waterford began in the 1980s to offer a variety of unique pieces to collectors. This sparkling 3-3/4-inch, six-sided snow star is facet cut on both sides with two additional overlaid star shapes, creating a dazzling prismatic effect when it catches the light. The ornament comes on a red tassled cord for hanging on a tree. Buyers may feel confident about purchasing a solid, well-formed piece as each glass must pass several quality inspections before becoming available for sale. This snow star ornament comes packaged in a red satin-lined gift box and includes a red velvet bag for storage. --Cristina Vaamonde
