Was looking for a no-fuss everyday pair of earrings. Bought 4 different pairs and these are the ones I wear daily. They are not big earrings, but I love them. I don't want to think about what earrings to wear in the morning. I sleep and shower in these too. They have a tiny invisible hinge on the hoop, so you just pull apart and they open up. A nice snap when you put them on. These will not be falling off. Cute bit of sparkle on them was noticed by friends. The finish is staying nice. Better than solid gold - I don't have to worry about them!
