i got them at sears on sale for $29.95(used my "points" and they ended up only costing me $8). i never wore them nor removed any of the tags that came with them. They are just as the were the day i bought them. I'm not sure what you mean when you say "which one to believe" as I never mentioned how much I paid for them before right now, the price tag that is on there is only the tag that was on there when I purchased them but it is not what I paid, nor what i listed that I paid. I did list that they are 24k gold OVER sterling silver which to me is probably why i got them for such a low price to be honest. I had ordered them online and didn't notice that till they came in and I can't wear anything except for gold due to allergies and since i had gotten "such a bargain" did not see the need to go through all the hassle to return them. I didn't really see the "need" to go through all this explanation in the description since people would be able to clearly see what they were in the picture, i do however now notice that i listed the category as only 24k gold hoop earrings UGH my apologies for that if it confused anyone....
