I gave 1 star due to the hole is not 100% open and filled some with that glaze. And the hole looks to be pin sized thus cannot get any jewelry accessories through it such as earring/metal ring etc. Maybe a piece of thread which isn't strong enough for jewelry making. They do look like real rose "tinzy" petals. Useless, however, unless the hole issue is resolved or perhaps no hole would have been better than one can glue the petal on something without the flaw of a partial hole showing.
