Bought for my girlfriend for valentines day.  The front and back are beautiful in the detail though the glass appears so dark that unless a light is behind it, one cannot see the back pattern, which is very unlike the picture.  I would recommend not going with the red one, but rather the pink or a lighter color so the back detail can show through.  She absolutely love it, and I agree it is a very pretty piece.  The only other problem I had with it was that the glass is just glued in, and came loose after a while.  Will have to glue back in, but it is a beautiful piece.
