I love the look of these earrings.  They look good and do not look cheap at all.  I really like them.  But..they are ridiculously tight!  I spent so much time trying to get the looser, and it was very hard to accomplish.  Loosening is very possible, but with these earring was not an easy process.  I'm quite sure that there is not an adult ear in this world that would okay with the grip these have.  Why make them this way?  It's not necessary.  So I do love them but now I know that this brand may give me problems with fit.
