Many thanks.This arrived promptly. Definitely worth the money. The detailed instructions are better than I have seen, and there's plenty of different traditional designs to try. If you were going for upgrades, I would suggest more colour photos, to make it easier to see the detail and or instructions for non-traditional effects
I’m using the rings to make Dorset buttons. Good value good communication with the seller.
Lovely quality rings. Quick delivery. Very pleased with my purchase, thank you.
