Jay Strongwater 11 Pipers Piping Glass Ornament, 12 Days of Christmas Collection

Jay Strongwater's love of the bejeweled objet has led him on a beautiful journey through the worlds of fashion and home furnishings. After garnering raves for a necklace he made for his mother, the designer took jewelry samples to the open buyer days at several of New York's department stores, and a burgeoning business was born in 1981 while he was a student at the Rhode Island School of Design. Strongwater's taste for big, bold bijoux was seen on fashion runways, magazine covers, and prominent jewelry counters across the country. The start of home furnishings was a jewel-encrusted picture frame Jay created in 1995 using components from his jewelry collection, and by 1998, his Jewels for the Home supplanted his fashion business. "I'm fascinated by the idea of taking our everyday belongings and turning them into a beautiful collage of metal, enamel, and sparkling crystals," he says.

Collectors often say they feel the hand of the artisan behind each Jay Strongwater design, a sense that comes from the work of the highly skilled artisans in the designer's New York atelier and production workshop in Rhode Island, where most pieces are brought to life. Jay Strongwater's bejeweled collections for the home—from frames and figurines to boxes, furniture, and holiday collections—add color and delight to every room.

The newest addition to our treasured 12 Days of Christmas collection, 11 Pipers Piping are featured in this bold and intricate double-sided ornament. Hand-painted in a rich colorful palette, this piece sparkles with added glitter and a sprinkling of gems, measuring 5.5" W x 2.5" D x 7" H. To clean your Jay Strongwater piece, wipe gently with a damp cloth.
