Unfortunately, the problem is my own.  I didn't look far enough down on the page to view the specifications, including the fact that these very, very cheap looking earrings are almost five inches long...too long for most anybody unless they happen to be attending a costume party.  You may be assured not only will I not buy from SuperJeweler again, due to the poor quality of the earrings, but in the event I ever buy jewelry again from Amazon, I will definitely look at the specs.  So it cost me $9.79 to learn my lesson.
