I love hoops but previously had never worn large ones such as these. I'm glad I gave them a try. They are stylish but not huge. They also look nice, are a good weight, and don't bother my ears. So far I've worn them twice for 12 hours each time with no issues so I can see myself wearing them on a regular basis. If you want to give largish hoops a try, this is a good pair to start with.
