The description says 'muted jewel tones' but I would say this piece has an intensity of color due to the artist's expert eye and the complexity of design. It is a stunning shawl. The fabric does have a sheen (as modal sometimes does) that highlights the beautiful mix of jewel-like colors. I am very happy for it to join my collection of shawls and wraps and look forward to wearing it for many years. It would be a lovely gift for someone who appreciates quality weaving.
I received the shawl today and it's beautiful. It was even in a nice envelope like netting with a material button which made it even more nice. It is isn't too heavy for wearing on cooler summer nights. Thank you.
