I have small earlobes and am always looking for stud earrings that are small and simple, but pretty.  These are perfect.  And they were a total steal - only $.99.  I have bought earrings just like this in some of my favorite stores (e.g. The Limited) and paid more than $20 per pair.  These are just as pretty as the expensive ones.  I honestly can't tell a difference.  Love them so far - very sparkly!
