Hello Kim,

    There are drusys and there are drusys. Much depends on the mineral.
    Some are more durable than others. That said, I gave my daughter
    (serving as a guinea pig) a ring with a quartz drusy about 10x14mm
    or so, in size. She wears it nearly every day and after a year so
    far, it looks just fine. The bezel is pretty high with the idea of
    protecting the edges where the crystals are exposed. 

    Judy in Kansas, where we are enjoying balmy temps and spring showers.
    After the Cinco de Mayo show, it's garden time!
