Purchased at either the Harajuku, Kichijoji, or Shinsaibashi store when Accessorize was in Japan. I bought a lot from Accessorize, and this item never got a chance to be used. I'm not sure if the crystal-like stone decorations are glass or Swarovski. I think the metal is brass. I will add information if I find any markings like 925. Would you like this for travel jewelry or to carry with you to add a little something extra when you go out?
