text: These are super cheap. They keep breaking (tho full disclosure I keep trying to twist the loops to different angles so the earrings fall a different angles, but a higher quality item would hold up to my gentle prodding). I used them to make earrings for myself with light metal wire or metal sheet hanging from them, but they clip really tight and my ears wind up hurting like hell after a few hours wearing them. They do the trick and they look nice enough, but working with them and wearing them you can tell they're cheap and I wouldn't want to use them to make gifts or items to sell.
