I was tired of earring posts poking me behind the ears and I wanted a pair of everyday earrings that I could just put on and forget.  My friend has a similar pair that she bought at a local jewelry store that I just loved but didn't have the budget for real diamonds.  These earrings have been great.  They are pretty, comfortable and so far have survived everyday wearing for the last 6 weeks, including a trip to the water park and 3 days at the beach without falling out or getting tarnished.  I really can't say enough about them.  At this price, I think that I will order a spare pair, just in case.
