Yes, you are correct, Pharaonics uses a lot of crystals that have the prong settings. Those tend to loosen. I have had some costumes from Eman in which the entire prong with crystal has fallen off. Even the flat sew on ones that you Sim and Bella use (and Amira uses those, too) are suseptible to falling off.

The solution that works best seems to be re-coloring them with a permanent marker that approximates the original color.
I've also lost some crystals, and I'm beginning to wonder why Pharaonics uses crystals with prong settings when the sew-on ones used by Sim and Bella seem so much more sensible for costumes!
