I wear these nearly everyday with a real diamond pendant. Because the necklace is real, no one questions the earrings. The craftsmanship is great and beautiful. Truly a steal for the price. I wear them in the shower too and haven't experienced any tarnishing, but the the hooks have gotten a little distorted as the months have gone on. I just used a small pliers to bend them back into shape to assure they stay properly hastened, but other than that. No problems. If ever I lost these, I would buy them again in a second.
