I purchased this for a wedding, but I'm selling it because I ended up using something else. I have only tried it on. There are no noticeable scratches or stains, but please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to used items, as it has been in someone else's possession. I think it's a design that can be used for everyday wear or for small ceremonies. Discounts are available if you purchase it with other earrings, so please feel free to contact me.
