"Lovely accessory: Blends with subtle, neutrals"
Well worth the money. And, it was diligently packaged for mailing. No chance of damage! The subtle color has a barely detectable hint of green. It will blend well with any interior scheme. Well executed details that have inspired me to look for additional items in soapstone.

"Delicately beautiful"
I bought this item as a birthday gift for one of my Sisters. She absolutely loved it. I was not able to see it in person right away since we live in different States, but when I did see it, I wished I had ordered one for myself! The design is intricate, and very well done.
