I bought these for one simple reason: they were basic gold earrings that I could wear every day. Nothing fancy, nothing too big. While the earrings themselves are nicely colored and have an even shape, the post and backing leave a lot to be desired. They do not "catch" - the connection is loose and unreliable. The post and backing have come apart often. I do not wear them to bed (although I have many earrings where that isn't a problem) and I do not pull on them or put them under any stress. They just aren't made very well. My solution, if you experience this and if returning them is not an option for you, is to go out and buy a package of gold backing from a jewelry or accessories store. Those seem to work out OK.

I'm petite, so I found these earrings the perfect size for everyday wear. 5mm is approx 1/5 inch. The velvet box and outer cardboard box are really nice for gift giving.

These are basic, simple earrings of exceptional quality given the price. You would likely pay far more for comparable items elsewhere.

I was pleased with these simple earrings. The ball isn't too small (1/2 cm). They worked well as a gift.

Although these are sized as for adults they are really better sized for young girls or teens. It's hard to picture the size from the discription so that's the best advice I can offer. For adults or larger people I would say go with a 7 or more.

They're definitely cute, but be aware that if you're allergic to sterling silver, you're allergic to these. The posts that actually pierce your ears, and the piece that actually sits on the front of your ears, are either sterling or some other metal NOT white gold. I'm still waiting for my ears to heal.

I bought these earrings for my wife but it turns out that the studs are way too short. My wife has average-sized earlobes and has never had a problem like this before.

Amazon ran these earrings on the Friday sale last week, and I treated myself. They are a real bargain at $12, including free shipping if you spend $25 in qualified products. More importantly, they are of good quality, and I like the size. If they go on sale again, they are perfect stocking stuffers for young granddaughters.

And such a good size too! I ordered and received the 7mm earrings a few weeks earlier and they were a bit too big for my needs but these little ones are just perfect.

I bought two pair of these earrings in April 2005 for $10 each, one for me and one for a granddaughter. Now Amazon is running them for $9 on the Friday sale. It's not too soon to be thinking about Christmas stocking stuffers. These would be perfect. These are real gold, quality earrings. I love mine and have worn them now for almost two years with no problems, having to be careful about metal allergies. What are you waiting for?
