Reed & Barton 890888 2020 36th Annual Christmas Bell

Lovely bell,I need more of them.

This is indeed one of the most beautiful ornaments that I have seen before. I have purchased a couple of Reed Barton ornaments in the past but I had not bought one that was made of sterling silver. When I opened the box (a very beautiful presentation case), I actually said Wow because it looked about like an ornament that costs a proverbial arm and leg should look...at least to me. It was the showpiece of the entire tree and I pointed it out to visitors ad nauseum (if you pony up that kind of dough for an ornament, I feel that should be required). Nonetheless, it was the talk of the tree and the season concerning ornaments. It is made exceptionally well without any imperfections that I could notice or see, it held well on the tree, and it is actually a pretty good chunk of sterling silver. If you absolutely had to sell it for the spot price, you could (but I would not recommend it). Something that I found to be interesting is that it did indeed tarnish a bit by the end of the season. I live in a very humid and temperate part of the South so I was not surprised. The tarnish actually just reminded me that it is a quality silver ornament and it seemed to prepare it for many, many years of Christmas seasons to come.Pros:BEAUTIFUL...seriously, it's beautifulSolid/heavy (but still stays on the tree well)It's a great quality of sterling silverGood way to start an annual collection (but costly)Should last many generations and can/will be handed downAwesome presentation/storage boxCons:Is NOT cheap (in any sense of the word)Does tarnish (all sterling does)If you love the season or just love ornaments...or maybe you want to give someone a very thoughtful gift that will last many generations, this is possibly a good option. It is amazingly crafted, it looks great, has a beautiful presentation box, and it will be handed down for years to come.

This is a beautiful little bell. It has a lovely chime, and is well-made. I would expect nothing less from a silversmith as storied as Reed Barton.The engraving is beautiful, and the weight is good. This is a beautiful and traditional ornament that belongs on a beautiful tree, and I am so happy to have been able to evaluate this one. Just lovely!
