Pretty, but the stones fall out way too easily...

They arrived with a stone already missing. It wasn't even loose in the bag, just missing. When i took them out to install them on my shoes, another stone fell off before I could even begin. For the price, this is super-disappointing.

Hi Kali, that certainly shouldn't have happened and we're happy to make it right!

Beautiful Dress Buckles

Lovely buckles to complete a collection of 18th century latchet shoes.
I had difficulty with setting my first pair, but it gets easier each time. I use a bone awl, as I find it sturdier than the modern sewing awls from places like JoAnns. The detailed instructions and video are most helpful.

Fleur review

I love how elegant and sparkly these buckles are! My only complaint is that when they arrived one of the rhinestones had fallen out. I superglued it back on, but I've since had about 4 more fall out even though I try to be gentle with them. A little disappointing considering the price, but maybe I just received a defective pair. They still look great though!

Fleur review

These are so pretty! I was lucky and got these included with the 17th century shoes I ordered. They're really easy to put onto the shoe. I can't wait to use my shoes with my bunad, the Norwegian national costume. American Duchess shoes are so much prettier and a better quality than traditional bunad shoes.
