This is a real purple orchid which is protected with a resin to protect it. When I opened the package I could hardly believe the natural beauty of it. I will cherish it forever. The true color is actually more on the burgundy side than what this picture shows but is still beautiful. Thank you for the excellence shown in the product.
I would like to say that Matta is a very accomplished artist, she has a distinctly feminine style. I bought the peach pearl and peridot earrings and matching necklace and they are extremely beautiful and elegant. I am very happy with my purchase.
