extremely lighweight
These earrings are smaller and more delicate looking than the pictures indicate.<br />Included are two different styles of backing- a softer rubbery cone shaped backing and then a hard plastic oval one.  I had difficulty with the hard round one- it was difficult to get a good grip, so I used the softer cone shaped ones.<br />The top of the earring is a delicate chain that the solid wavy pieces are attached to.  This little bit of chain allows more movement of the swirls and for the movement to be in many different directions.  I thought this added to the look of the earrings.<br />The earrings are very lightweight, I hardly felt them on.<br />The posts are hypoallergenic.  I sometimes get an allergic reaction from hypoallergenic earrings.  I had no issues the first day.  The second day, my ears were slightly irritated.  This is better than some hypo allergenic earrings that I have, but not unexpected.<br />The earrings are accurately measured, so  you can figure out how they will look on you, but they are photoshopped in the listing so that they look bigger and thicker in the photos.<br />I am very happy with these earrings.
