It's beautiful. Not as shiny as the photo makes it seem.  Also, the top tray is pretty heavy - not really easy to use as any kind of serving tray.

This is a gorgeous item.  It's not exactly jeweled, I'd probably have used the word "enameled" instead.

Four stars instead of five because on the box I received, the greenish-blue part you can see in the picture is...well, I'll say it.  It's gloppy.

It's largely composed of the green, which is almost matte.  The blue is stunning, iridescent, but at least on the one I received there are only a few little...glops...of
the blue, and they're not blended, evenly dappled, or anything, just kind of stuck on in two or three places.  I can't imagine why they chose to apply it as they did.  Being forced to hurry, is my guess.

It's not a dealbreaker, and it isn't bad enough to make me not want to give this (it's meant as a gift) but it's just a little disappointing, because it would've been a real showstopper with a tiny bit more attention to how the blue and green were applied.  Either use just the green, just the blue, or spend a little longer applying them in an aesthetically pleasing way, and you'd have a five star item that looks like it cost a LOT more than it did.

When the box opens the inside is enameled in a nice smooth sand-flesh tone.  The top is much bigger than the bottom when it's opened, which may matter to you depending on what, if anything, you wanted to put inside it.  The bottom is not quite flat, but it doesn't have much of a lip, either.

The shape of the sculpture itself is gorgeously detailed, the gold is satisfyingly applied and gleams prettily, and on the whole it feels very expensive.  I really wish the manufacturer had applied the blue more evenly, or more symmetrically.  It looks marvelously blended in the picture.  I'm sure each one varies, as they are hand painted, I just got the opposite of lucky with mine.  I sincerely doubt the person receiving this is going to notice or care about this little paint job detail.  The hinge feels solid and well made.  All in all, a wonderful thing to put in a shadow box or to put a smaller gift inside.

Very well packaged and should be perfectly safe through the ordeal of shipping.

It's very beautiful, but it doesn't look nearly as big as it is in real life. It's a very heavy necklace. I also wish I knew it was only one sided.

It's nice looking enough but not striking. Looks better in the picture

This bracelet is beautiful and the picture doesn't show how beautiful it is!!!! I love it.

It's as beautiful and sparkly as the picture shows. The exact size also. It's fairly thin though and could be easily bent. I think if you're careful with it though, it'll be fine. Wish it was a little thicker.

It's a lovely piece. It looks better than the photograph, nice detail but also quite simple.

It's nice. But not nearly as nice as the picture would have you believe.

The photo really makes it shine but, in person it didn't really look as good. It does not look as nice as some beads, it has a "cheap" tone to it. I probably would not recommend this to a friend. I like the bead well enough, it's not awful. . . just not amazing.

It's really nice although it does not create a strong 'rainbow' like that depicted in the image.

Beautiful but not nearly as blue as shown.

The colors are beautiful! The pictures don't do it much justice

It is beautiful, the reason I gave it a 4 is the bed skirt isn't the same quality as the duvet and pillows.

It's a bit "cheaper" looking in person than the picture shows, however it's still very pretty.

It's beautiful.  The light blue was a little lighter than I anticipated, but still a lovely color.

This pendant is beautiful. Not as bright as shown though, and should come with a box chain.
