Comfort & Fit

Pros:

• "The backs fit really well."
• "I have been wearing these nonstop for weeks and my ears have not been red swollen or itchy."
• "I can wear these all day, and my ears feel great. Sometimes I forget to take them off at night and sleep in them, which never happens with any other earrings."
• "I have sensitive skin and cheap earrings usually scab, these were left in as studs and didn't bother my ears at all."
• "I finally found inexpensive earrings that are not only pretty but they also do not irritate my ears."
• "For years I could only wear earrings like 1x/week because my ears would be so itchy and irritated after. But these don't irritate my ears at all!"
• "Love them. I have metal allergies and am unable to wear gold or silver. With these platinum clad earrings I am able to wear them just fine."

Cons:

• "Earring back broke upon taking the string off... The earring back is incredibly loose and won’t hold the earring in place at all."
• "I don't like the fact that they do not sit flush on your ear no matter how close I push the back to my ear."
• "The low rating is due to the unfortunate fact they are not made very well. I have had to search for one or the other a couple times as they easily fall out of the ear."
• "The problem I have with these is that they are BIG and stick out pretty far."
• "As others have noted, the posts are really long. I didn't think it would be a big deal, but they really are looong."
• "The posts are really long. My other earrings also have long posts, but these are just long enough to be uncomfortable to sleep in."
• "really too big to sit right on your ear lobe....the sparkle is great as is the detailing in the setting... just won't fit flat on your ear like a normal stud."
