Basically new. I only wore once because my ear hole is very stretched and these are a little on the heavier side and I had to stop wearing long earrings a little after purchasing. Clean, not tarnished. I used to work for the brand for many years and purchased this while working for them so this is 100% authentic. All silver. It was part of this Bee collection they carried where this was inspired by the stinger of the bees. It measures 2.25in long.
