These earrings are very pretty--beautiful peridot stones.  There is one problem that I have with them: the backs are very difficult to slide onto the posts, and once on, almost impossible to take off.  My ears were very red after I finally was able to get them off.  I have been working with the earrings in hopes of making the backs slide on more easily because I really like the earrings.

Perhaps this problem is just with this one pair of earrings.  I hope it is not common to the lot.
