I was very pleased with the quality of the shawl!  The shawl looked better when it arrived!  I was very surprised that the price was very reasonable compared to how nice and elegant this piece is. I wore it to a banquet as an accent piece and was very pleased.  If you enlarge the size on the computer to view the product you can see streaks of silver that adds a special touch - when it arrived, the product did have that slight shimmer that adds a touch of elegance!  Can be worn for special ocassions.
