Absolutely love these! Exactly what I wanted! Just that perfect little sparkle that you can actually comfortably sleep in. Because the back screws on, you don't need a longer post for security. I am not skinny, and have average width ear lobes, I believe, and found the length perfect. Highly recommend. Almost forgot! They are packaged beautifully, in a very nice velvet jewelry gift box! Even if you are buying for yourself, it's like you are getting a present!
