I absolutely love earrings, but as I've gotten older, I cannot wear heavy, dangly ones as they weigh down my ear lobes and hurt. So I hunt out airy, lightweight, dangly earrings that I can wear...and these are not just beautiful and delicate, but they are so light I can wear them for an entire day and they not hurt my ears! I've had mine for over 6 months and they still look brand new. Highly recommend.
