These earrings snap in place with a light and comfortable feel. They have no catches, so you can even change clothes while wearing them. I liked that they are catch-free, so the back of my ear doesn't hurt, but I'm selling them because they didn't fit the angle of my earlobes. I only wore them out for one day. I will disinfect them with alcohol before packaging. Color: Silver Scratches/Discoloration: None
