Grommet curtains have nothing over the beauty of curtains rings!  I hung gold velvet drapes with navy blue sheers using these curtain rings in the bronze finish and the look is very attractive, indeed! also I have more control over the opening and closing of my curtains with the rings. The curtains stay where you put them. Another great thing about these particular rings is that they hold up my heavyweight velvet drapes with ease. Shipping and receiving came without a hitch and packaged very well. Thank you for reading and I hope this helps you make your decorating decision easier.
