Bring Home the Beauty of a Traditional Victorian Christmas
Our tin icicle ornaments are designed to last for generations and become a cherished holiday tradition in your home.
Made from tin plated steel, these icicles offer a sustainable and elegant alternative to disposable plastic tinsel.
Eco-Friendly Holiday Décor That Truly Lasts
Most Christmas tinsel is plastic — used for a single season, then tossed.
Tin is different.
It’s a naturally durable metal that keeps its shine year after year. With proper care, you can use these ornaments for decades, creating a more sustainable holiday tradition.
We use tin plated steel for the following reasons:
- Maintains its mirror-like silver shine
- Reusable every year
- Fully recyclable
Choose décor that looks beautiful and reduces waste.
Durable, Reusable, and Low-Maintenance
Our tinsel is designed with longevity in mind.
Simply hang it on your tree, enjoy the silver shine, and pack it away until next season—and the next, and the next. Our tinsel’s durability means you can decorate sustainably without sacrificing beauty or tradition.
A Brief History of Tinsel
Tinsel has been adding sparkle to Christmas trees for centuries. It originated in early 17th-century Germany, where it was made from thin strips of real silver hammered into delicate strands. Families used it to reflect candlelight and create a magical, shimmering effect. Today, traditional metal tinsel is rare—but its nostalgic charm endures. Our tinsel carries on that old-world tradition while offering a durable, eco-friendly alternative to the disposable plastic versions found in stores.

Caring for your Tinsel
Tinplate is extremely slow to tarnish if properly maintained. It offers better corrosion resistance than bare steel, but the same care procedures should be followed. Try to keep your tinsel dry wherever possible and avoid exposing it to high humidity. With that said, we have customers that prefer the “used” rustic look and don’t mind leaving them placed outside or in humid environments. If the product needs to be cleaned, wash it with a soft cloth and non-abrasive cleaner immediately after use. Dry immediately after washing to prevent rust.
