As mentioned these are fairly small.  I thought I would like to try them because they are different.  I don't see many earrings you thread through your ear.  As mentioned they are extremely light-weight and would be good for those wanting some length but no weight.  They are very delicate, and bit too much so for me.  I like bolder earrings because I'm very tall.  I also have long hair and this could create a problem.  I like them and will keep them.  Good for hair pulled back or short.  Very well packed.
