Out of box was disappointed. Hoops were very thin and I thought they looked weak, but thought I was being too particular since on they were all right and I needed I simple pair. However, wore two times and the catch in the hoop has messed up and I will need to get it fixed now. The catch prevents me from wearing one of the earrings because the stem falls out of the catch and earring would slide out of ear (if possible since they are sooo light). Very disappointed. Nearly feel as if I got caught on bait and now realize it's not what it I thought it would be. Very poor quality. I wished I had followed the advice of another reviewer, but other reviews made these seem nice and durable for my needs - what need? to wear some days casually. I do not recommend.
