These earrings are not as lovely when you put them in your ears, because the wire that goes through the hole in your earlobe is so thick as to be painful. Also, the wire is too long and is bent in a spot that causes the earrings to hang so they're half facing the floor instead of upright. You can push the wire further through your earlobe but after a while the weight of the earring pulls it back through. Poor design.
