Simply put...LOVE THESE! As other reviewers say, they are light-weight and very comfortable. The other thing is, they are very delicate looking on - this is great for large, long earrings. Usually, big earrings are too clunky/costume-y for my taste. These are sizeable but they are delicate, so they look classy, airy & tasteful - that's hard to find in big earrings! What a price, too! Upon receiving, immediately bought a 2nd pair to give as a gift.
