Nice and Safe for Sensitive Skin But Maybe Pair with Clear Backs
I’m allergic to most metal jewelry. It’s pretty severe and I break out in a rash within minutes of contact. I haven’t figured out why since it seems to happen even with very pure products that are supposedly nickel-free and hypoallergenic. I did not react to these, so that’s a huge plus.<br /><br />Looks-wise, they’re cute, but it’s hard to describe them as “dainty” because, even though they’re thin and lightweight, the way they go through your ear makes them a bit edgier.<br /><br />My big gripe with them is that they just hang in place, almost like sliding a paper clip through your ear. They’re held in place by the curve and neither side is weighted. Well, I wore them out and received lots of compliments, then came home and lounged with them in for a few hours. The next time I looked at myself in the mirror, one was hanging in my hair (no longer in my ear) and the other was missing. I haven’t been able to locate the second one and I’m not sure I will.<br /><br />This may be unique because I have really long hair… I’m guessing they both got caught in my hair and pulled out… and because I was longing in them. I think if I was only wearing them out and my hair was tied back, it wouldn’t have happened. If I had it to do over, I might have tried threading a clear plastic earring back onto it, though I’m not sure it’s possible or would have helped.<br /><br />Bottom line: very cute and worth ordering if you like the style, but be careful when/ how you wear them.
