Floating Gems
As unbelievable as it may seem, these balloons really do stay afloat. The hot glass-blown balloons come in stunning color options—orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. Each jeweled balloon is finished with a thin, barely there metal string. When mixed in the air, these balloons resemble a floating mosaic. Hand-blown by Robert Kuster, this one-of-a-kind decor lifts the traditional balloon to much greater heights. uncommongoods.com
