Hand made in beautiful stained glass. Every material I use is made in the USA. This topper will make a wonderful family heirloom and will last many decades if well taken care of. The only part that is plastic on this star are the light clips soldered to the back. I have been making and selling my stars (without light clips) since 2006, when I gave one to welcome my Jewish sister-in-law into our mixed religion family.....she loved the thought so much! I am so happy and honored to see many others are also enjoying them. The idea of placing a star of David atop a tree has been around for many, many years. Since the early 50's that I am aware of and probably long before then. ***************THE LIGHTS ARE NOT INCLUDED*************** YOU WOULD USE THE FIRST OR LAST 6 MINI BULBS YOU USE ON THE TREE. THE LIGHTS WILL SHUT OFF WHEN YOU TURN OFF YOUR TREE. YOUR MINI LIGHT STRAND SHOULD HAVE A 3" SPACING BETWEEN BULBS. THESE WILL PROBABLY NOT WORK FOR TREES THAT ARE STRUNG AT THE MANUFACTURER (unless you purchase a small separate strand.) This Star measures 8"H x 9"W. Uses solid WHITE GLASS for HALF and COBALT BLUE for HALF. The solder lines are silver. This star takes around 4 hours from start to finish. Each of the 12 pieces of glass are hand cut, ground smooth, foiled and soldered. I then solder small, plastic mini bulb clips to the back of the star. The first, or last 6 bulbs that you apply to your tree will be used....they snap right in and out very easily. The wire base is securely soldered deep into the back of the star and are NOT adjustable. This star uses a double wire base. (I do include tips and care instructions). THE BASE OPENING IS 3/4" If the spike on top of your tree is weak the topper will surely tip. I include care instructions and more tips others have shared to get it perfect.
