Base metal exposed
It's cute, but the edges (that can easily be seen during wear) are not well coated in gold, the base metal is exposed and tarnishes/discolors easily. Also it's a bit big, so it sits low on the ear lobe, and I am scared to pinch it more closed for fear of cracking the gold further and exposing more of the base metal. Bummer because the style is great and exactly what I wanted.
