The concept of these earrings is BRILLIANT. It's astounding that this is such a common culture thing: to keep sewing products in a cookie tin. How did women all do this across the US and Canada, coast-to-coast, in a time when we didn't have social media? The earrings are a little heavy. I was worried about that and was told the weight but I didn't know how that would feel on my ears. I think if they were on posts, with those wide earring backing things with the clear plastic, that would help to brace them on the earlobe, you know? Since they turn around at times while wearing and just have a big grey back, it would be neat if there was some patterned backing, maybe just made of... I don't know, a sticky wallpaper-like material? Those are my only minor complaints. The quality is excellent, concept is genius, and I'm super excited to give these as gifts to two friends. I'm looking forward to wearing these and seeing how many people understand what they're depicting. It feels like a sociological study just to wear these in public!
