Neptune's Rings Small Barrette

I own several Brighton barrettes, both large and small. I have purchased them over the last 10 years (?) maybe longer. The older ones say "Made in France" and are durable in weight and design. These new ones are not. In fact, one of mine came missing a piece which shows a lack of quality control I never experienced before from Brighton. The tote that came with it has a cute design. However comparing these with the older ones, the size and material is different namely smaller and "rougher" material. I am sad to see the quality slide away as consumers keep buying products that are dwindling in quality. As long as we want the prices to remain the same, or closely the same, companies will continue to find ways to circumvent quality for profit.
