To start the earrings were yellow not white gold and the size is slightly bigger than I expected (about 5 mm), but this was far from the issue. I ordered 2 pairs and since then lost 3/4 earrings. I have 4 piercings on my lobe and usually wear the same earrings for months. I never ever lost one. But within 10 days 3/4 of were gone because the little butterfly clasp in the back is too big. I am considering asking Overstock a refund, because they should not be selling this product. Everything else I bought from Overstock was good, but I would not suggest these earrings to anyone.
