I quess they must do some type of research to fiqure how many will buy with the crystals. Personally I am not a fan of the bronze or crystals.

I agree. Cyrstals are glued and once you lose one it's all over. I wish they would use prong set Diamonique. Im guessing that the expense is in the prong setting but I just don't feel secure in purchasing an item that has crystals.

I agree-cannot understand the prices they are charging for crystals! Much rather have Diamonique!

They're obviously trying to keep the prices down by using crystals over Diamonique, but I agree with everyone who doesn't like crystal. It cheapens the look, not to mention if you lose a crystal, there's no guarantee for replacement like there is with Diamonique. Light bulb! Maybe they're trying to move away from Diamonique due to their lifetime replacement policy.

Crystals are glass. I'd be happy with white topaz, at least it's a real mineral gemstone.
And since they are just glass- they pop from settings (glued or otherwise) if they get the slightest chip. I stay away from them myself!
I recently got new sunglasses with a few crystals on the arm- I dabbed a little clear nailpolish on them to secure it a bit more. I know it'll bug me when one pops out!

I know from reading many books about stones and cutting and polishing them that quality CZs set in jewlery should be cut and polished by expert craftsmen and women and that takes more money than gluing in glass or even setting glass or crystals so they definitely are saving money by using "crystals". But, the thing is, the Q still charges ridiculous prices for these cheap imitations compared to places like the LC!

OMgoodness, I was wondering the same thing. I just don't know about the whole crystal thing...There were a couple of things that I would have purchased if they had diamonique and not crystals. I just didn't realize that would make a huge difference in the price. All jewerly material costs must be going up. I purchased the 18 K earrings and band ring. I hope they have a lot of gold and I hope they will be a good value. I know if they are good quality, I will really wear them for a lifetime.

I have a couple of watches that have crystals around the bezel and none of them have fallen out so far and some of these watches I wore daily for years.
I thought that watch was gorgeous but it reminded me too much of another bronzo watch I have and love so this was an easy pass for me.

I would have purchased the recent TSV watch but I don't want any bling on my watches.......
