Purple Heart Glass Christmas Ornament | Hand-Painted Glittered Blown Glass Military Medal Ornament | Old World Christmas
For those who gave everything in service to their country. The Purple Heart is the oldest military decoration still awarded to members of the United States Armed Forces — established by General George Washington himself in 1782 as the Badge of Military Merit, and reinstated in 1932 in his honor. It is awarded exclusively to military members who were wounded or killed while serving in action against an enemy of the United States, making it one of the most solemn and sacred honors a service member can receive. To hang a Purple Heart on the tree is to honor a legacy of sacrifice, courage, and devotion to country that words alone cannot fully capture.
This Old World Christmas Purple Heart Ornament captures the iconic medal in beautifully hand-crafted glass detail — a hand-painted blown glass figure faithfully rendering the Purple Heart's signature design: a rich deep purple glitter heart field framed by a gold glitter heart-shaped border with fine edge detailing, bearing the iconic gold profile of General George Washington at center in precise relief. At the top of the ornament, the authentic Washington family coat of arms shield is hand-painted with red glitter stars and stripes and green glitter leaf accents on either side — every element rendered with the reverence this decoration deserves. The signature Old World Christmas gold charm hanger completes the piece.
A perfect gift for Purple Heart recipients, military veterans, active duty service members, Gold Star families, military history enthusiasts, and anyone who wants to honor the sacrifice and service of someone they love.
