Great customer care - ordered 6 napkin rings, received 4 broken. snapped a pic of the damaged rings, emailed to customer care - 3 weeks later received 4 new rings in pristine condition. Design - small but expertly crafted. Meticulous paint detail - not sloppy or rushed. Colors are glorious - better than the picture. These are a little fragile, but the joy I will get from using them justifies the extra effort of careful handling. I am very happy with these napkin rings and the follow up service.

I have purchased three sets of these Cardinals now. Such beautiful details! I have given some of the cardinals away as gifts to friends. One hangs on my kitchen valance year round with other Fair Trade birds (many from Novica). This pair was the last pair - so watch for them to be available again.
