I can't say enough good things about these earrings! I was draw to them because of the sparkle and unusual design. However, I was extremely hesitant at ordering because the holes in my ears are super stretched from wearing heavy pageant earrings in my younger days. I have not worn stud earrings with post backs in over 30 years. I thought I would give these a try. They are surprisingly lightweight. It almost feels as if I'm not wearing earrings at all. They feel very supported with the post back, and I adore them! I also have purple, and would love to have them in every color offered. They definitely make a statement!
