"As far as style type, most of the orientals really do pick a gold or a black to go around their stuff. The gold in this one is a little high and it washes out some of the color but the shape is really good. It brings your eye down into the piece that's why when I put this one on it looked really good and kind of helped the picture make it a good picture. Just like this one here it will bring your eye down into it to where as I was to pick one as flat with a little bit of gold in it, it kind of over powered the picture but yet it still gave you a nice looking picture without going to big. This size is about 1/2 of the size of the width of the picture I wouldn't go any bigger than that. Sometimes pick out things that you normally wouldn't pick out off of the wall, something that kind of caught your eye but you though naw, this isn't going to work. You will find that by doing so some things will work and you won't realize it until you lay it down. That doesn't look bad and it gives you that little bit of feel going down into the picture. But what you wouldn't want to put on it even though it does have the flant on it, it has the right style but the wrong feel. Something you probably would use on some dressy foofoo picture."
