Don't Work for My Lobes
These tiny earrings, about half an inch across, are supposed to give the look of four hoops to those who have only one piercing in each ear, caught my eye. And when I took them out of the box, they seemed well made and are very pretty. The next thing I noticed, though, is that there are no metal backs for the post - only the cheap clear rubbery backs typically used on display cards in stores. And, only one at that; it had fallen off and was lodged in the plastic bag, but the other was missing entirely. No real biggie, I said - I've got plenty of extra earring backs.<br /><br />Then came the second disappointment; they're supposed "climb" up the side of your ear, except on mine, they do not. Unless I position them so that the hoops are sticking almost straight out sideways, the top fake hoop doesn't touch my ear at all - pretty much missing the whole point (not to mention the edge of my ear). Oh well, I'm not happy, but maybe I just have exceptionally small earlobes. Next time I see my daughter or granddaughter, I'll see if their lobes are a better fit. But for me, they don't work at all.
