Alexander McQueen Byzantine Queen Skull Crocodile Box Clutch

You know I love McQueen's skull box clutches but looking at this is giving me physical pain (not in a good way).  Sure I've been known to obsess over embellished bags but why cover the amazing crocodile skin with $10 crystals and bedazzle beads?  On satin it is understandable (you have to up the ante on expensive cloth bags) and even acceptable on leather but crocodile skin stands alone and needs no assistance!  I understand the Queen needs her jewels but in this case, she should just go naked.

By the way, I'm also hoping the ruby eyes are real rubies (my skull clutch has Tahitian pearls) at this price.
