Very delicate & don't face forward
Omg these are delicate little chains!  I first tried them on with the rubber backing to see how long they were.  Getting the post in my ear and then being able to put the backing on was a struggle.  But not nearly as much of a struggle as trying to get the backing off!  The straight post is TINY! And very thin and fragile.<br /><br />Once I got the back off, I tried threading it.  It stayed in place pretty well, although any slight pull on the stone slid the earring to nearly falling out.  The backing on it once threaded might not be a bad idea.<br /><br />Like others have said, it is almost impossible to get the stone to face forward.  I took about a dozen photos of each style and the ones I'm sharing are the best I could get.<br /><br />So while they are dainty and feminine and pretty, I couldn't love them.  They're too fragile and don't face forward, which diminishes their beauty.  I didn't want a silver teardrop, I wanted the emerald teardrop.
