Review (2/5): Not as good as I wanted and hoped it would be
I love the idea of earring backs that don't allow your earring to 'droop'. I also like the heart design and thought that it would be cute front or back. That's the only real positive I can say for these.
I tried them with six pairs of different length earrings and they only worked for one and not well at that.
- Studs were the only one it worked with and the earrings weren't heavy to begin with and didn't 'droop'
- heavier drop earrings didn't work with the straight post back because I couldn't get the heart shape to lay flat on the back of my lobe to make it not 'droop'
- heavier drop earrings with a hook back didn't work because there was no way to push the heart backing up and around the hook shape. I tried them with Kendra Scoot earrings, heavy Lucky earrings, some Belk sterling silver earrings and some very heavy Betsy Johnson ones. When the back of the earring was a hook it just wasn't working.
Bottom line, it worked for the lightest pair of earrings I owned and only because they had a straight post backing. I also had to constantly fuss with them since the opening (back of the hearts) couldn't be too tight or too wide. So I was constantly trying to manipulate them with my small long nose pliers.
Also, the price is ridiculous. Yes, it comes with two pairs, but you'd think one of them would be silver and one would be gold. Also, it's way too much money for something that doesn't do what it says it's going to do and has to be constantly tightened or loosened. I love the idea. I really do, I wear super heavy earrings (one of the reasons I got a second hole to begin with) But this needs work. It should be easier to use and should work with hook type backs because most heavy earrings are going to have a hook back.
