My daughter is 7 yrs old and really wanted "hanging" earrings. I don't change her earrings often - if ever! So I wanted to find something that was cute, that dangled (but not necessarily hangs...), with a little sparkle.  And these were it!  I'm planning on giving them to her for the holiday, but I was so impressed with the perfect size (small - but PERFECT for a child) and yet how "girly" it was, that I actually went back online to buy another pair in a different color. You can't beat the price for what you get. I'm very happy with these!  (If my review was helpful, let me know by clicking "yes" at the end of my review!)
