Are these ornaments shatterproof?

No. They are real glass, so they can break if dropped or knocked off a branch. Store them in a padded box between seasons.

How many ornaments come in a set?

Sets come in 4, 9, 10, 24 and 40 pieces. Pick a small set for a tabletop tree and a large one for a full-size tree.

Are they safe around pets and young children?

Glass balls can shatter into sharp pieces, so they are a poor fit for homes with cats, dogs or toddlers. Hang them high or choose shatterproof ornaments instead.

What size are the balls?

They are standard round glass balls sized for a Christmas tree. Check the listed diameter before buying if you need a specific size for a small tree.

Can I mix set sizes to fill one tree?

Yes. The line uses the same ball style across set sizes, so a 4-pack and a 24-pack can be combined on one tree.

Our take on the Northlight Glass Ball Christmas Ornaments

Northlight's glass ball ornaments are a traditional Christmas tree staple sold in sets ranging from 4 to 40 pieces, so you can dress a small tabletop tree or a full-size one from the same line. The glass gives a brighter, more reflective finish than plastic or shatterproof balls, and the range of set sizes makes it easy to match a theme across a whole tree. Owners like the classic look, but the 3.4-star average reflects recurring complaints about breakage in transit and thin glass. They suit shoppers who want a traditional glass look and will handle the ornaments carefully, not households with pets or young children.
