Just get them!
I debated getting these for a long time. I'm glad that I talked myself into it. I was worried that they would be too big, but they aren't. They are substantial, but not heavy. The detail is clear. The stones are richly colored and bright. And I love they are on decorated ear wires instead of generic ones.
This is one of my favourite schawls
It is thinner than i thought it would be but still not to thin to be fragile (for people like me anyway, who tend to get fragile materials damaged no matter how much we try to look after them) and it's nice on a cool summer evening or over a jumper in winter (not that i have had any such weather to try it yet). I love brown but wanted some colour as well, that was not to bright so while brown looks good with colours like white it matches much more . And the material feel beautiful and soft.
Beautiful Likeness of a Unique Duck
In 2018 a Mandarin duck appeared in Central Park, New York seemingly out of nowhere. That sparked my fascination with this duck. I was surprised and pleased to find this sculpture years later and was able to "capture" my own Mandarin duck. I love the sculpture and the incredible attention to detail and the realistic faithfulness to the duck. Okay, the real duck looks a little like a toy as well, but I am thrilled to have another sculpture by Nengah Sudarsana, and this one joins my small flock of ducks by him. Perhaps I'll take it to the lake in Central Park and see if another real one will show up to keep mine company.
