side note: Ever wondered the difference between "Swarovski Silver Crystal" and "Rock Crystal"? Swarovski Silver Crystal is "man-made" and produced by combining a variety of different minerals, including quartz and lead oxide. The manufacturing process uses full lead crystal containing more than 30% lead oxide, producing a crystal with a "deep color spectrum".


On the other hand, "Rock crystal" is a semiprecious stone, considered a mineral quartz, that occurs naturally. Therefore, Swarovski Silver Crystal produces a more brilliant color than natural rock crystal.

Pretty, but I always fear that I would have no idea what to do if the stones started falling off......

I am so impressed with the price! ALL minaudiere clutch designers use Swarovski crystals, but they usually retail for like 2x's the price of this clutch.
