Purchased the earrings with money my mom sent me for Mothers Day as I told her i saw the earrings on Overstock and had been searching for black onyx hoops for a while. I love the earrings but to be honest I was hoping the size of the hoop would have been a bit smaller as i am not used to wearing hoops. that said Istill love the earrings!Shipping was prompt and the packaging was secure.
