SECOND QUALITY
Real silver leaf applied to the branches and woven through the form before the glass closes around it. The result catches light from deep within, especially on an LED base.
Seconds are structurally sound and functional, but may include bubbles, surface marks, or a slight wobble from the handmade process. Appearance may vary from the image shown.

Each Silver Leaf Evergreen starts with real silver leaf applied directly to the glass while it’s still being formed, worked into the branches and through the body before the glass seals it in permanently. The effect is luminous and dimensional, shifting as the light does. On an LED base it becomes something else entirely.
What Makes a Second?
Lines or impressions left by molds and hand tools—visible traces of the process that shapes each piece.
Gentle differences in shape or proportion, including uneven rims or dimensions beyond our usual tolerances.
Occasional larger bubbles or clustered air pockets captured during the molten process.
Swirls or fragments of unmelted materials from the furnace environment.
I purchased a 6 inch Silver Leaf Evergreen tree that was a second to add to my collection. I received the tree quickly and well packed and I was amazed by its condition. Why it was considered a "second" I don't know but it is just as beautiful as the rest of my collection. I am very pleased and happy with my purchase.
I purchased a medium size crystal Christmas tree with silver inside. It is beautiful. I love it!
Simon Pearce trees are nothing short of stunning. The silver leaf evergreen shimmers with the pure silver used to create it. The workmanship is superb. It’s a beautiful addition to a tree collection, but is also a standout on its own.
Added to my collection of trees, love it
Love the trees!
Seconds are fully functional pieces that don’t meet our strict visual standards. Because every item is made by hand, small variations naturally occur throughout the making process. Some seconds reflect the learning curve of new artisans or the refinement of a new design, while others simply fall outside our tolerance guidelines. When this happens, the piece is designated as a second and offered at a reduced price.
Seconds are typically offered at 10%–30% off the original price, depending on the piece.
Seconds may include subtle differences in shape, size, or finish. Common variations can include:
1. Slight dimensional differences beyond our tolerance range, typically ⅛"– ½".
2. Small bubbles within the glass.
3. A gentle wobble that does not affect stability.
4. Occasional stones or cords in the glass, which reflect the molten material and furnace environment.
These variations are visual in nature and part of the handmade process. Pieces that are unsafe, sharp, or unstable are never offered as seconds.
No. Because seconds celebrate variation, each piece is unique and may differ from the product photography shown. That individuality is part of what makes seconds special.
No. All seconds are final sale.
Seconds are not eligible for gift boxing or wrapping. However, you may contact our Customer Care team to purchase a gift box separately if available. Gift messages may still be added at checkout.
