Bought these for a very picky elderly in-law who wanted a gold hoop earring that was comfortable enough to wear all night/day, but wide enough to see. First I tried them to see how they would feel. They were very light, and a decent size to fit over lobe but not too big. The latch is wonderful. For shaking, elderly hands that cannot put on an earring backs, these are easy yet comfortable. The width of the earrings we rec'd seem bigger than what we see in the picture, but that was a bonus for us as the wearer can see them easily with her low vision. Overall a very nice earring for very reasonable cost.
