I purchased this from this site and used it once at my wedding. The second photo is the back. There are no noticeable scratches. The following is a quote from the product description from the purchase site: Beaded tassels, which became popular with the Oscar de la Renta brand! Nowadays, beaded tassels are sold by any manufacturer, or brides make them themselves, making them a common item. For a special occasion like a wedding, the affordable gem that is perfect is the artificial stone "zirconia," which is said to be close to the brilliance of a diamond. The clear-coated champagne silver, which goes well with the sparkling marquise-cut zirconia, makes the face look clean and also makes the bride even more beautiful. Please wear high-quality accessories on that important day that will be captured in photos and videos. I will wrap it in bubble wrap and ship it in simple packaging. Thank you. #Wedding #Bridal #Earrings #Tassel
