I bought these earrings for my 64-year-old mother who was looking for gold hoop earrings that she could wear every day as well as when she went somewhere nice.  These earrings fit the bill perfectly.  They look a lot more expensive than they were.  My mother kept saying I shouldn't have spent so much money on her!  They are the perfect size for my mom.  The latch appears to be quite durable, too.  Because the earrings look more expensive than they really were, I gave the product 5 stars.  Very good value for my money!  I would recommend these earrings to anyone looking for smaller casual earrings, but maybe wants to use them when dressing up, too.
