In 2006, Soo Kee, a jeweller from
Singapore, built this Christmas tree. It has nearly 22,000 diamonds and almost 4000 crystal beads and has been valued at $1 million USD.[£490,000GBP]
Janet Parker of Chippenham, Wiltshire, England, probably has the world's oldest artificial Christmas tree, it has been in her family since 1886. The miniature tree originally cost
6d (2½p), and is 12in high. (See picture to the right)
Because Mrs Parker can establish its provenance through family letters and photos, representatives of the Guinness Book of World
Records, have agreed that it's the world's oldest artificial Christmas tree.
It was her great aunt, Lou Hicks, who gave the tree to Mrs Parker. The present owner said: 'It amazes me
to think it's been appearing every Christmas since Victorian times. It's still such a lovely decoration.'
Upside-down Christmas Tree
The idea behind the upside-down Christmas tree is
so that you can get more presents under the tree. Note the size of the chair so that you can get an idea of the scale.
