Worn a few times. There's a little bit of wear and tear, but I don't think it's anything to be overly concerned about. Please refrain from purchasing if you are very particular about condition (⁎ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈⁎) The hoops are not connected to each other. I liked the dangling, eye-catching presence they had. I'm selling several earrings I own because I got my ears pierced! #earrings #hoopearrings
