They are small and very cute. I bought them for my 5 year old daughter and she loves them. How ever the silver backs come out easily while she sleeps and can end up loosing an earring, so what i did was i switched the silver backs for some little clear plastic ones from other earrings i have at home and the earrings stay in place all day and night with out the fear of coming off while she sleeps.  My daughter have very sensitive ears and ahe has had NO issue at all with these earrings so far they really seem to be real silver so i definetly recommend these.
