The "backing" is very small and very hard to hold on to and also, to insert.
These earrings are lovely.  I have very short hair and I only like and wear small earrings, as larger ones look peculiar on me.  Small earrings (other than studs) are a bit hard to find.  Except for the fact that the backings are quite small and difficult to hold on to and also to insert,, I would have given 5 stars.
