This Sassy paci is sure to make a beautiful photo prop, head turning cake topper or just the perfect keepsake. I only use genuine Swarovski Crystals. The nipples are never touched. This is an Avent Pacifier but if you want another brand just let me know. Gloves are worn as other pacifiers do not come with nipple protected cases. This Sassy paci is 0 to 6 months.
