I got these for myself in early December (it’s now 2 months later) and I just realized I haven’t taken them off. I shower, sleep, and swim in them with no irritation to my ears and they look just as beautiful as the day they arrived. I love GLDN. I’m wearing my ring (bought 3 years ago) and my necklace (bought 5 years ago) from them as well and all my pieces are lovely, classic, and take a beating day in and day out with no complaint.
