These are a great size and are dainty and thin, which I think adds elegance. The gold doesn’t look cheap. They look great with dressy outfits. I gave them 4 stars because they’re hard to close. The very tiny earring stem fits into an open end of the earring. It’s like threading a needle almost. There is no earring back or clasp. You can try doing it looking into the mirror, but that didn’t work for me since everything is backwards so I have to do it by “feel.”
