Very Nice Lynn, very elaborate with all the extra angled beauties on their own. The coral so uniform in the deep red color. Also thoughtful the way they have graduated the pendants. All very thought through and carefully executed. In short, a worthwhile item to have in ones collection in beauty and craftmanship. Gr. Ingrid. I love the Muria center and endings.
