An incredible work of art!

This handcrafted cuff bracelet just arrived today. I can truly say the photo of this item does not do it justice. When I first opened the package my first thought was "WOW!" Such detail! The design is so spectacular! I couldn't wait to slip it on... Roy Nilson craftsmanship is a pleasure to behold. I especially loved the composition of the dancing couple. Viewing them puts a smile on my face! They are so precious! But most of all I love the passion Mr Roy put in his creation. I can see the love for his culture through his art. My family is from Mexico, as well. So I can relate to his passion.... This is one of three items I purchased from him, and I plan to purchase more in the future. Needless to say, I've become a huge fan. Mr Roy, thank you for the honor to ware your gorgeous artwork!

Beautiful

This tray is really beautiful. I am very happy with it, but I would caution buyers that the finish is not smooth and glossy, as I thought it would be. It?s more of a porous, Terra cotta feel. I say this because, in spite of its description as suitable for food, microwave safe and dishwasher safe, I can?t imagine doing any of those things. I suspect my daughter will use it more for a catch all tray on her bureau. It?s truly lovely.

The details on this bracelet are amazing. I can't wait to wear it with the other matador and flamenco jewelry I have by Maria Belen Nilson. Her work is fantastic.
