My cousin loves purple and these look so good! I was afraid they would look too cheesy but they DO NOT (at least the purple ones I ordered don't), they look like white candles in purple tinted glass. They are not glass but are in fact plastic which makes them light weight and more durable. The wick sways back and forth which give them an even more realistic look and makes you do a double take because you cannot believe they are flameless. All candles were working just fine when I received them, they only need two AA batteries each and you are good to go.I was looking for something to put in the middle of my table. Fake plants would not work due to cats like to chew on them. I set the timer to come on at dusk and off at bedtime. Working perfectly so far. Unless you are right up on them they look like real candles. Definitely buy.I love the flickering light that the candles puts out on the wall. Beautifully made.When I unpacked these I thought they looked cheap BUT….. they are great. They flicker like a real candle, have a timer and remote. Absolutely love them. I just ordered moreThese are so nice. Create a nice ambience with these and everyone believes there candlesI got these candles for a Halloween decoration for my table. I got the black. They look so realistic. The wick flickers so they look totally real. I'd buy these again.They are really pretty. Don’t count on seeing gold because they are grayI really enjoy them. I like turning them on when it is a little dark or gloomy.I bought this as a gift but will be returning it. Read the add carefully it does say synthetic glass which is very light and unrealistic. Will look for something with actual wax.Enjoy the candles. They are lovely.These candles are absolutely beautiful... I am very happy and pleased. Thank you
