Let's put one small bauble in place. 

Now we must arrange the remaining 6 - 1 = 5 bauble. 

These five baubles can be arranged in a variety of^5P_5  configurations. Because there is no dependency on whether the baubles are arranged clockwise or anticlockwise. 

The number of ways required is  \frac{1}{2}\left ( 5! \right )=60\ ways.
