I was really excited for these, and thought they seemed like a great deal, but when I received them, the Triquetra design was *seriously* scratched up, and about half of the little brass circle pieces for the cones had fallen off. Most of the others fell off shortly thereafter with very minimal handling. The Triquetra is painted on with paint that comes off with the lightest scratch or even rubbing. Needless to say, these are not even close to saleable, even at the cost I paid for them. Almost everything I have gotten from VD has been excellent, so this left me very disappointed. I did contact VD (and sent pictures) to let them know about the issue, but never heard back from anyone. I left two stars, instead on just one, because it is apparent that these *would* have been nice if they were as advertised, and not scuffed up and falling apart.
