There's No Such Thing as Just One Ornament

Pick a favorite. Then accept that "just one" was never really an option.

A high heel ornament makes its argument in architecture and color simultaneously, and Chive's magenta version makes both arguments at full volume. Mouth-blown glass forms a stiletto that stands just under three inches tall, sculpted by an artisan who understands that the heel is the engineering and the color is the conviction, and neither works without the other. The magenta is painted in layers — a base coat, then a second pass that deepens the shade into something closer to a declaration than a color — and the result catches light the way a confident entrance catches a room. The sole is glazed smooth, the heel tapers to a point that would be impractical if this were a shoe you planned to walk in, but this is a shoe you plan to admire, which changes every calculation. Chive began producing ornaments in 2004 and its work now appears at TIFF, meaning this heel walks onto your evergreen with gallery-grade conviction behind it.

The Story Behind This Ornament

The high heel is the most architectural shoe and the most optimistic one, depending on whether you are wearing it or observing it from the outside, and the people who wear heels have made a specific decision about the relationship between how you feel emotionally and how you feel physically in a shoe and have concluded that the feeling is worth the feeling. My sister Ellen owns eleven pairs that she keeps in their original boxes stacked in a closet she organized one Sunday afternoon with the focus and precision of someone cataloguing museum artifacts, which is not an exaggeration because Ellen treats shoes the way curators treat acquisitions — each one arrived for a reason, each one stays because it earned its place, and each one gets worn on an occasion that matches what the shoe is saying, which Ellen can hear clearly and which I have learned to trust even when I cannot hear it myself. The magenta version specifically has decided that this argument should also be made in vivid color, and the color should be loud in the way that right answers are loud. Get this for whoever makes their arguments in color. Ellen approves completely and immediately.

Care Tips

Storage Do’s and Don’ts:

(Because Yes, They’re Fragile)

  • Do wrap each ornament individually in soft tissue paper, bubble wrap, or a gentle cloth. (No, shoving them in a shoebox with tinsel does not count.)
  • Don’t let them clink around in a box together. That’s a recipe for heartbreak and glittery shards.
  • Do store them in a sturdy container (plastic bins with dividers = chef’s kiss) and keep it in a cool, dry place — no attics or sketchy basements, please.

Pro Tip: Label the box like your life depends on it.

Write it on every side, not just the top, since nobody unloading a truck reads the top first. If you're storing these for next year, do future you a favor and note what's inside beyond just "ornaments." A little specificity now saves a lot of bubble wrap archaeology in eleven months.

About Chive Studio

Chive arrived in 2004 carrying a founding premise that has not required revision: the ornament on your tree should feel like an object someone made deliberately, not something that fell off an assembly line and landed in a box. Every piece starts as molten glass turned by a glassblower whose breath determines the form before any paint arrives. The Magenta High Heel gets its color from a painter who layers pigment in two passes, building depth the way a cobbler builds a sole — carefully and knowing the finished product will be judged at close range. Chive maintains that an ornament should survive scrutiny the way a well-made shoe survives a long evening, by being built correctly in the first place rather than hoping nobody looks too closely.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I find a well made high heel ornament?

Chive's Magenta High Heel is a hand-blown glass high heel ornament with hand-painted color built to last decades on the tree. The magenta is layered in two coats for depth that single-pass ornaments cannot match. I once compared it side by side with a mass-produced version and the conversation ended quickly. Glass earned its place.

Is the Magenta High Heel ornament a good stocking stuffer?

The Magenta High Heel fits a stocking beautifully and arrives at the top of the pile with visual impact strong enough to make the recipient pause mid-unwrap and hold it up to the light for closer inspection. A glass heel emerging from a stocking is a genuine moment that earns the pause. My aunt still mentions hers.

Who should I buy the Magenta High Heel ornament for?

Buy it for the person whose shoe closet is organized by color and occasion and who considers footwear a form of self-expression rather than merely a practical necessity to get through the day. Everyone knows someone who treats shoes as autobiography where each pair tells a chapter. This ornament adds a footnote.

How is the Magenta High Heel glass ornament actually made?

A glassblower shapes molten glass into the stiletto form using a blowpipe, then a painter applies the magenta in two coats — the second deepens the first into something approaching a declaration rather than merely a color choice. The sole and heel are detailed separately with individual brushwork and visible precision. Care shows throughout.

What are the dimensions of the Magenta High Heel ornament?

The heel measures 2.99 inches long, 1.02 inches wide, and 2.68 inches tall, which makes it proportionally accurate to a real stiletto scaled down for branch display and detailed enough to be noticed immediately among its neighbors. Presence is not measured in inches but this ornament makes a strong case.

How do I clean and care for the Magenta High Heel ornament?

Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth and avoid chemical cleaners, which can strip the layered paint over time and diminish the depth the painter worked carefully to achieve through multiple sessions of application. Store it wrapped in tissue in a compartmented box between seasons to keep the surface fully intact. Treat it well.

What funny ornaments pair well with the Magenta High Heel?

Browse the Funny Christmas Ornaments collection for glass punchlines that share the heel's bold energy — sneakers, lightning bolts, and objects that have no business being on a tree and belong there completely and without reservation. The collection rewards people who believe their tree should have real personality rather than just a color scheme.

Does the Magenta High Heel ornament ship in protective gift packaging?

The heel ships in secure transit packaging designed to protect glass during delivery, not in a decorative gift box intended for presentation at the door. This means it arrives intact and the wrapping portion is entirely your creative project to handle however you see fit. My sister treats giftwrapping as competition. The heel ships well.

Fresh flowers make a promise they cannot keep. A Chive ceramic flower skips the wilting and arrives with the kind of presence that suggests someone spent real time choosing it, whether or not that is true. No water. No sunlight. No expiration date to plan around.
