The size was ideal, the price was more than reasonable and the quality is great. They stay on (I take them off to sleep - as I do with all my earrings) and the posts are substantial and well done (in terms of the indentation to stay from sliding). I am very pleased - they are replacing a pair that I lost years ago of my mother's - her first pair! No one my age (30 plus) seems to wear these, but as a casual weekend earring - I love them; they are classic and classy -- and look nice on young girls too! I read a lot of reviews before choosing this seller and am very satisfied.
