i fell in love with these hoops as soon as i saw them and hated them just as quickly once they arrived. first off, they are VERY cheap looking and i was astounded at myself that i would pay 100+ for something that required no skill/time to make. then just trying them on at home and walking around they fell out of my ears 3 times in a matter of an hour. i thought that it might be better if i wore my hair up when i wore these earrings. that did not matter. i wore my hair pulled back and went out and they fell out of my ears repeatedly throughout the evening. i finally took them off and out them in my purse so i could relax and have a good time. not worth is at all.
