    Finally got it today! As soon as I held it I decided its not going anywhere near my waist. Much too tiny and delicate!

    It is lovely, though is the quality up to expectations? It seems like its almost gold leaf rather than pieces or dots as I was imagining. Is this normal?

    oo it does photograph well :joyful:

    It is lovely.
    It looks like the design is raised and gilded, rather than actual piqué, inlaid. Either way, a bargain.:happy:
