These came the next day in cute little box, sealed in plastic that would be perfect as a gift. Wouldn't even have to wrap it, just stick a bow on it. But these are for Me. Yeah! Even before you get them out the individual bags you'll be wowed. The are so bright and shiny and have some weight to them. They look very high end. WOW again, the light bounces off of them. You are going to love these. They are going to be perfect on my Christmas dinner table. I'm going to have to order more. I only got a set of four this time because the price seemed to good to be true. And I noticed they have these in other metallic colors. The pictures just don't do these napkin rings justice. They are so nice. Buy them for yourself and a friend. You'll be glad you did. No real instructions needed except these should not sit in water or be put in the dishwasher. I think you could even use these to decorate with or maybe put on your Christmas Tree.
