I was looking for what I consider a 'perfect' pair of earrings - something that I can let in my ears when I go to bed and not fuss with changing each day.  I like leverbacks because I have long hair.  Fishhooks get caught in my hair.  Post earrings are sometimes difficult to sleep in.  These earrings fit the bill for me.  The weight is light enough for daily use.  The length is perfect for casual everyday wear - not so long as to look silly with jeans and a t-shirt.  However, with their vintage look, Swarovski crystals, and Sterling silver findings, they also go very nicely with dressier attire.  Very pleased with them!
