I love these earrings, don't get me wrong, but when they arrived, the stones weren't attached to the metal base and I had to glue them together myself. A month or so later, and the hooks to put them in your ears are broken off entirely, and i'll have to replace those myself again. They're cute on, and I get a lot of compliments, but the constant repairs and wondering if the stone is going to fall out is just a pain to deal with. Getting a slightly more expensive pair next time to avoid these issues.
