I went to a Ren Faire as Flynn Rider and thought it'd be fun to carry the tiara in my satchel, and this actually surprised me with how nice it is! I expected it to be very light weight and cheap feeling but it actually has a fair bit of weight to it, I even had my bsf see and they agreed! Also very pretty, the gems shine very nicely in the light! Durability wise I'd say it seems like it will hold up pretty well, and I also plan to cosplay Rapunzel soon so it'll come in handy, just wish there was a better way to secure it, but I'll figure it out!! As for gems falling off, I have had no issues but I will say that when I took it out of it's packaging I could hear a very faint hardly there rattle when I moved it at times, like something is behind a gem possibly? For the price, definitely worth it!!
