„Aura“
The “Aura” Christmas star captivates with its delicate details and a unique halo of light, crafted from fine Freiberg porcelain with real gold accents, 16 matte white crystal glass beads, and 24 Bohemian glass beads.
„Gloria“
The “Gloria” poinsettia is crafted in a classic design from fine Freiberg porcelain with real gold accents, 16 matte white crystal glass beads, and 8 Bohemian glass beads.
„Advent Star“
The “Advent Star” combines the traditional colors of Advent and creates a festive atmosphere with its warm glow. The shape is new, but the symbolism is timeless and beautiful: red stands for life, love, and warmth. Green symbolizes hope, like the evergreen branches of the Christmas season. Gold represents light and happiness, while white stands for purity and the magic of winter. Thus, our “Advent Star” blends harmoniously into the entire Christmas season.

As a Dresden invention, our glass bead stars stand for authenticity, the highest quality, and the living tradition of genuine craftsmanship. What began as a creative idea has evolved into distinctive Dresden originals. As a special gift for the holiday season with lasting value, as well as a stylish design element for sophisticated interiors and curated collections, the Dresden glass bead stars combine timeless aesthetics with artisanal precision.
Regional ties & select materials: The origin and quality of our materials are of central importance to us. That is why we consciously rely on regional partnerships and select manufacturing facilities. The crystal glass beads are manufactured exclusively in Bohemia—a region with a centuries-old glassmaking tradition. They are distinguished by their exceptional precision of form and high degree of whiteness, and are finely frosted in an additional step to reveal their characteristic play of light. The porcelain bases are crafted according to our own designs at the Freiberg Porcelain Manufactory and finished with real gold decoration. We also remain true to our philosophy when it comes to packaging and accessories: Our cases are made in Dresden from the world’s first eco-friendly wrapping paper manufactured in Germany. All banderoles and printed inserts are also produced in Dresden. We source the high-quality tea lights from a regional manufacturer.
