I offered these loops to my 15 year old daughter for Christmas. It is easy to set up, have a good size but my daughter does not wear them every day and retire late in the day, it oxidizes rapidly and require very careful cleaning with a product suitable for the gold to recover all their initial gloss. My daughter does not have this kind of problem with other loops also in gold, it is not a priori the quality of the skin that is in question but perhaps the alloy of these loops.
