They are beautiful once you get them on. It took me about 30 minutes just to out one on. It’s difficult to line up the hole with the post part. I ended up just letting the earring hang out without closing up the back with the hole. I have to check periodically to make sure it hasn’t fallen out. This is the first time I’m disappointed with a purchase from S&S. Once they are on they are nice however and good everyday wear hoops. Not too big not too small.
