I have had these earrings for a few months, and they in fact have not tarnished.  I am a huge fan of easy, and these are perfect.  They aer understated, but attractive.  They go with any degree of dressiness.  The posts are quite comfortable. And I get quite a few compliments.  I reach for them frequently and do not have to root around to match an outfit.  Did I mention they are easy?  Add the price to the package and they are just perfect.
