This set was really beautiful, and I wanted it to work out, but the earrings would not stay in. They were heavy, but not uncomfortable, but the backing was not designed to keep them on. I have several pairs of costume earrings like these, and they generally come with a back that gently snaps into place to support the weight of the earring. These did not. I like them enough that I tried to find another back that would work, and ended up loosing the back to one of my other earrings as well. I'm really sad that this set didn't work out, it was beautiful. If you don't care about wearing the earrings, it would be great purchase. I sent it back.
