11-Piece Nativity Set with Praying Angel – Ivory & Gold Hand-Painted Resin, 5"–12"

A nativity in warm ivory and timeless gold.

This eleven-piece set tells the Christmas story in a language of enduring elegance. Mary kneels in a softly pearlized gown, her hands folded in prayer as she gazes at the infant in the woven manger. Joseph stands beside her in a cream robe with a subtle golden sheen, one hand on his staff, his bearing quiet and strong. Between them, Baby Jesus rests on sculpted straw bedding — a separate piece you may place in the manger when the season arrives.

The Three Kings approach in richly embossed robes, each cloak edged with hand-painted gold filigree that catches the light like ancient embroidery. Their crowns and gift vessels are finished with the same meticulous attention, giving the royal visitors a dignity that balances the humility of the stable.

The shepherd boy kneels with a small lamb nestled in his arms, his face turned toward the Holy Family in wonder. Overlooking the scene, the praying angel spreads her golden wings and bows her head in contemplation — the tallest figure in the set and a symbol of silent, steadfast guardianship. The animals — a warm brown ox, a gentle grey donkey, and a small white sheep — rest quietly at the margins, grounding the scene in earthy warmth.

Offered in three sizes, this ivory and gold crèche grows with your home. The 5-inch scale is ideal for a first nativity set, fitting easily on a narrow shelf or bedside table. The 8.5-inch size brings balanced presence to a family mantel or console table. The 12-inch version commands attention as a chapel centerpiece, a wedding gift display, or the heart of a large holiday tableau.

The warm neutral palette ensures this set never feels dated. It pairs as naturally with a modern minimalist interior as it does with a traditional Christmas greenery arrangement. Under soft interior light, the pearlized ivory surfaces glow with a warmth that feels like candlelight on old stone.

No assembly is required. Each figure arrives individually protected, ready to become part of your family’s Christmas tradition for years to come.

Eleven figures. One prayer. A nativity in gold and light.

Which figures come in this 11-piece ivory and gold nativity set?

The set includes the Holy Family (Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus in a removable woven manger), Three Wise Men, a shepherd boy cradling a lamb, a praying angel with golden wings, an ox, a donkey, and a sheep. Each of the eleven figures is freestanding and individually hand-painted in warm ivory and gold with a pearlized finish.

How is this ivory and gold set different from your blush pink nativity collection?

While both sets share a pearlized finish and classic sculpt, this ivory and gold edition replaces the blush pink tones with a warm neutral palette of cream, ivory, and soft gold. It also features a praying angel with folded hands and swept golden wings, rather than the standing Gloria banner angel. The overall mood is more stately and universally neutral — equally at home in a modern apartment or a traditional chapel.

What sizes are available, and how do I choose?

This nativity set is available in 5-inch, 8.5-inch, and 12-inch scales at the praying angel. The 5-inch size is ideal for small shelves, bedside tables, and first homes. The 8.5-inch size suits standard mantels, console tables, and family room displays. The 12-inch size makes a striking centerpiece for church altars, chapel niches, grand entryways, or formal dining room tableaux.

Is the praying angel the same as the Gloria angel in your other set?

No. The praying angel in this set kneels with hands folded in contemplation, her golden wings swept behind her in a posture of quiet guardianship. The Gloria angel in our blush pink set stands tall holding a "GLORIA" banner. Both are the tallest figures in their respective sets, but their poses create distinctly different moods — one of serene prayer, the other of heavenly proclamation.

Will the gold accents tarnish or fade over time?

The gold detailing is applied by hand using a durable, gold-leaf-style paint specifically formulated for polyresin figurines. It is designed to resist tarnishing and fading under normal indoor conditions. To preserve the finish, keep the set away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and harsh cleaning chemicals. Gentle dusting with a soft, dry cloth is all that is needed for yearly maintenance.

Is this nativity set appropriate as a wedding or baptism gift?

Yes. The warm ivory and gold palette, the reverent expressions, and the classic sculpt make this set an especially fitting gift for weddings, baptisms, anniversaries, and housewarmings. Unlike strictly seasonal red-and-green nativities, the neutral ivory tones allow it to remain on display year-round in a nursery, prayer corner, or living room.

How heavy are these figurines?

Each figure is cast in solid, high-quality polyresin with a weighted base to prevent tipping. The 12-inch angel weighs approximately 1.5 pounds, while the smaller figures range from 3 to 8 ounces. The substantial feel in hand is comparable to ceramic, but the polyresin construction is more resistant to chipping and breakage from accidental bumps.

What is the best way to store these figurines after the holidays?

Dust each figure gently with a soft, dry cloth before packing. Wrap them individually in tissue paper or bubble wrap, paying extra attention to the angel’s delicate wings, the Kings’ ornate crowns, and the textured edges of the woven manger. Store in a sturdy box away from direct sunlight, moisture, and extreme temperatures to preserve the hand-painted pearlized finish for generations.
