Does the AB coating come off on Swarovski crystal?

I like the AB coating on some of the clear crystals because they give them a beautiful multicolor shine, but I've heard that they can flake off bit by bit as you wear them. Is this true? Does it happen for Swarovski crystals as well as other types of crystals?





~thxx (:|||All coating have a potential to wear, chip off, etc. My experience with Swarovski crystal beads is that the coating is really well applied but certain factors will cause it to wear off including (but not limited to) perfumes, creams, lotions, wearing your jewelry in the bath, shower, swimming pool or ocean, certain body chemistry, certain weather (hot humid beach areas), wearing it against other jewelry, etc. I know that doesn't sound encouraging but for the most part, they hold up well year after year and definitely better then other brand crystals. If you buy a third party coating on a Swarovski crystal, it probably won't hold up as well either.
