Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Korean Sujeo Set', 'Hanil Gold Flatware', 'Hangeul Alphabet', and 'Titanium Plated'. Highlight that it is a 2-person set. Photograph the items outside of the box once to show the hallmark/brand stamp on the back of the handles. Use a microfiber cloth to prevent smudges in photos.
