dressy jewelry

This order took forever - ordered mid-Aug, received mid-Oct! But, it was definitely worth the wait. Excellent workmanship, and my favorite color, turquoise. Such a beautiful piece, and really prettier and richer-looking than the picture indicates. I'll treasure this. Thanks Apolonio and Novica.

The pictures of this item make it look like a color intermediate between purple and pink, however in person, under natural light, I would describe it as being redder/pinker and I would probably describe the color scheme as just pink, maybe with hints of purple. The top panel also looks white in natural light. As purple is my favorite color I'm a little bit disappointed in that, and yet despite that, it is really amazing work. Had I known what it would look like in natural light, it's possible that I'd have gone for "Cajamarca Splendor" by the same artists, which is a bold combination of secondary colors including purple. However, regardless, I am very happy that I have one of these cabinets, and this color scheme would have been one of my top two finalists for which one I wanted, regardless. I am very happy to have it; it is such a neat piece, and I am amazed that when you consider how much it would cost to ship this much glass from the Andes, they can offer it at this price.

The details are what makes this so special. I love knowing that it is a hand painted, unique item. I looked for a long time for the right jewelry box and when I "met" the artist and put a little history behind the purchase, it made it that much more special. I will be buying more items as gifts, because I know that anyone would LOVE getting something so pretty and special. Loved the little Thank you card enclosed, signed by Apolonio as well! He is a true artist and God has blessed him with such talent and gratitude!!
