I bought two bracelets, one necklace and a pair of earrings.

This "crystal pearls" get peeled really easy. I don't know what kind of coating Swarovski is talking about, because I realized that they were very cheaply made when I found one of my earrings peeled in the front part of the "pearl".

Layers of coating? Absolutely not! Crystal core? Well only if the crystal looks and feels like plastic...

Easy care? Pleeeeease! I am very careful with my jewelry and this cheap fake pearls can only be used if you are wearing gloves or a turtle neck on top of them, so you won't get caught with a part of your supposed fine jewelry peeling of, like just happened to me.
