Very pretty and seems to be well made. It is slightly smaller than I expected and I have a hard time getting ALL my hair in it. I chose this piece to go with my wedding dress and I think it will end up working out very well. I don't know that it would be a good piece for everyday wear. It is metal, so it is slightly more uncomfortable than the plastic pieces, but so much better looking. I just wish they would've made it an inch or even 2 bigger.
