The Chic Crystal Ring comes with glittering SWAROVSKI element! For Gold and Rose Gold variant, it is plated with 24K gold plating while the black one has Rhodium plating instead. Another item that got all the bloggers excited is this Mini Selfie Set by HyOne since taking selfies is what we all love to do. It is so compact; the length is even smaller than our phones and it’s sleek design just got us captivated.
