Nicer than I ever anticipated it to be - great size, color, detail & overall quality. Very impressed with this mask, so I bought 3 more round masks!

Mask reflects owners happiness”

This unique mask looks lovely in my foyer. The background color is lighter than on the website but I understand each piece is unique. Workmanship is superb.

Elegant & alltagstauglich”

Neben dem tollen Aussehen sind die Ohrringe auch noch ganz leicht. Ich will sie nicht mehr abnehmen.
