Well, this wall clock shines up very nicely. The clear stones reflect the light beautifully. However, when I unboxed the clock I had to spend a few hours carefully manipulating the rows to make them even from side to side. I Also had turn many of the prongs slightly so they were all facing outward. Several of the tips were turned under so I had to untuck them carefully as not to mar the paint or possibly break the tip off. The stones are not crystal. Not even acrylic. They are a plastic. This clock is definitely overpriced. I believe I can make it work, as it does reflect light. I hope so. Personally, I wouldn't recommend the purchase of this clock to other consumers. Sorry.
