I simply LOVE experimenting with color, and this hook is one of those experiments that turned out fabulously well! I combined "Indigo Royalwood" Dyed Hardwood with bands of blue-green "Turquoise" Dyed Hardwood, and added a piece of "Blue Chip" Acrylic in the center. The result is a textural feast for the eyes! Besides having shiny bits, the acrylic material also has a wonderfully velvety texture when you see the micro-sparkles up close. The dyed and laminated hardwood has been impregnated with resin and densified, thus made extremely strong and durable, and also resistant to temperature variations and moisture. The entire hook is smooth as glass! Size K (6.5 mm), eight inches long. Heirloom quality.
