Is a line or cord in crystal a flaw?

No. A line or cord is not considered a flaw. This almost invisible difference in the density of the crystal occurs during the fusing of molten crystal. Although visible when it reflects light, the cord disappears when a goblet or vase is filled with water.

Does a seed or bubble in crystal constitute a flaw?

Tiny bubbles the size of a pin point sometimes form in the fusing or melting process and do not affect the quality of the piece. Such slight variations are natural results of handcrafting.

My frame doesn't have a removable frame back. How do I change the photo?

There is a clear acrylic dust shield/window pane which needs to be removed prior to installing your photograph. You’ll notice a very small notch located in one of 4 inner corners, which allows you to gently pop this shield out from the front of the frame. We suggest a sturdy pin, toothpick or paper clip to lift the front piece. Once the acrylic front piece is removed, there is a protective thin plastic film over it, which can be peeled off to provide a clearer view of your photo. Once removed you're then free to insert your photograph and replace the window pane back into the frame.
