The photo looks gold, however it's actually green. There's still a shimmer to it and it's nice, but I was disappointed by the fact that the photo did not match the actual product. I'd return it, but I believe Wayfair might charge a restocking fee - unsure of that though. I'm going to make the best of it and put a gold bow on it that I made myself, who knows maybe I can make it look like the photo.
