I was looking for some silver hoops that didn't cost too much but weren't cheap quality like most are. these are the perfect size and they are LIGHT on your ears! i hate the ones that are heavy and hurt your ears after having them in for a few hours. these are awesome. they are very pretty and came pretty quickly after i ordered them. they came in a little velvet bag inside a nice box. i absolutely love these earrings. in fact i am wearing them right now!
