I purchased these earrings, even after reading the bad reviews. I had a $10 off coupon so they only cost me like $10. I thought I'd give them a try. I definitely do not like the earrings with the heart charm. Everyone is correct, they do not stay on, The middle sized earrings with the texture are okay- I personally do not care for them but still wear them from time to time to jazz up an outfit. The larger earrings I really do love. I'm wearing them right now as a matter of a fact. They go great with everything, not too terribly heavy- yet they are not light weight. I have yet to encounter any quality issues, such as the stems falling off like others have said. I guess my suggestion is to just be careful. Overall- this is in fact a nice set.
