I liked them a lot, but I can't recommend spending the $80 to get the 1.25mm size. I was able to wear them everywhere, except formal occasion (90th bday party). Other than there, they're big yet small enough to work in almost any setting because they aren't the extremely large hoops and they aren't small enough for little girls, maybe teenagers, young women, adult women. The downside is they're extremely light, easily bendable, and don't stay in the insert (Even though LooptyHoops claims they're continuous, they're not.). The result of the design is one fell out while I was walking the neighborhood (the most active I am), and I didn't realize it soon enough (I backtracked to search), so now the one earring is useless. I ordered them June 1, they arrived June 4, it fell out yesterday, June 28. So they didn't even last a month. I'll try for some earrings that are heavier with some kind of back instead. They're a pain because of weight, but at least, they're more likely to stay in my ear.
