I purchased the oiled bronze for my previous house LOVED THEM!! the finial ball was about 2" in diameter. New house... new curtain rods:  I ordered the silver.  The finial balls are 3" diameter.  Upon searching for new finials, I realized that the larger finials are "IN"  but not what I want.  HOWEVER BUYER BEWARE... over half the finial balls arrived shattered.  They are very badly packed.
