These were a gift for my work wife who keeps from losing it on a daily basis. She lived the elegant simplicity of these hoop earrings (I knew she WOULD) and wears them everyday. They are especially great because they are not the style that has a post and we are on the phone all day and to NOT have a goddamn earring post digging into our necks is sometimes the only thing that keeps us from going feral in public. Thank you for reading. I did NOT buy these earrings for myself because im poor but I buy nice gifts for my friends. Summation: these are beautiful and timeless earrings!
