These are my very first pair of hoops, ever! I have never really been attracted to hoop earrings, well, until these came along. They are glorious, yet simple, still. Just everything I could possibly want if I were to buy hoops so I snatched them up as soon as they were released. I have been a customer for a few years now so I just knew the quality would be there. They are definitely weighty so if you are looking for a pair of lightweight, hollowed out earrings, these aren’t for you darlin. They are still comfortable, for me, to wear and that says a lot because I am not a daily wearer of big or heavy earrings. Anyway, get them, they’re awesome.
