This evening bag is spectacular. It's vintage and part of the original tag is still on the bag. If we counted correctly, there are 1,583 dazzling sapphire blue rhinestones. You should see the color and the sparkle. These rhinestones cover the front, back, top and bottom for an incredible eye-catching dazzling look. Each rhinestones is prong set and mounted just like real sapphires would be. All rhinestones are present, and all are clear and secure. The crystals dazzled, and made it almost impossible to take a picture of the quality we'd like.

If you love the sparkle and dazzle of Judith Leiber's minaudiere's, you'll love the sparkle of this one, too.

Vintage unused rhinestone evening bags are incredibly rare, and the blue color is rarest of all. In fact, after checking with numerous collectors, nobody has seen or heard about anything like it. All we know is that it comes from Lovely NY. Although we are unable to confirm this, since there's no info available, we were told by one collector that she thought that the company which made it went out of business about 15 years ago. An extensive Internet search, using information provided to us, failed to bring up anything on the designers.

This minaudiere is sophisticated and elegant.

Each rhinestone is surrounded by a mounting, and all rhinestones are present, clear, securely attached and dazzling.
