Complete all round beauty! ( I know.... but I couldn't help it.) The subtle finish washes off easily and that was exactly what I had wanted:=D I stringed them up and used them as a decoration above my bed and it is a statement piece that quickly becomes the focal point in the room when I first walk in! So happy with this purchase. Don't hesitate, these are gorgeous and great quality. No strange chemical odor either; which I truly appreciated since they are in my room.
