I bought these for my wife for valentines day.  She is a photographer and I thought she would think they were cute.  She absolutely loves them and wears them all the time now.  She has nice jewelry that I have bought her over the years and these aren't high-end (when I say that I mean it isn't real gold and diamonds in case you didn't notice) but they still look nice and she loved them so that is all that matters.  The clasps seem pretty sturdy and they seem to hang well from her ears.  I haven't heard her complain about them for anything.
