Obviously these are shown on a mannequin when they are put in real ears they do not face outward (at least not in my ears) they kind of curved back and away so they are kind of pointless as a jewelry showpiece. And as much as measurements are provided these earrings are super small so they do not make a "wow" statement of any kind. They are also super uncomfortable. As others have commented one earring came very loose and didn't snap into place well so I feared I would lose it if I actually wore it out and the other one actually was too tight to the point that I had a hard time forcing it open (I was scared I was going to start bleeding from all the tugging I was doing to unlatch it). Overall one of the worst purchases I've made.
