sparkly like a princess tiara should be [SEP] good quality rhinestone tiara this tiara is very sparkly and pretty it is a heavy duty metal with the front covered in eye catching light reflecting rhinestones the rhinestones did look clear and not milky the one issue i had with this is that i thought that it would be shaped so that it sits right on the head like others i have seen before however it is not it has loops in the end for pinning although pins do not stay in my hair very well i tried to tie ribbons to the ends but that did not work i ended up having to purchase some elastic in order for it to stay well on my head and not feel like it was going to fall off i am happy with the tiara though since the workmanship looks good it is durable feeling and it is prettyi received this item free in exchange for wearing it and providing my honest unbiased feedback the price i paid had no bearing on my review as i have no relationship with the seller and i never guarantee a good review
