The color is beautiful and the quality of the earrings is overall very nice. Yes, they are stunning to see, - not only due to the metallic coloration, but also due to size of the hoops used. Keep in mind this is just my opinion..., but these are really too weighty, The diameter of the large hoop is just too big. I will wear them on special occasions, but probably only then. I am believing that I will need to get ear nuts that have that round plastic shield secured to the back in hopes of offsetting some of the weight. They do seem to droop on the front side, I am thinking that a spacer of some sort will lessen the drooping. While I'm sure my piercing channels are not straight, they are just that - a common piercing so it's not that the channels are oversized on the front of my lobes. I hope the manufacturer reconfigures them to use smaller-diameter and thinner or even offers a hoop with a flat band-type earring in the future. That gorgeous metallic oil-slick sheen will still be eye-popping. And again, just me here - but It seems like the big hoop rings are very similar to those used in document binders, only the earring hoops don't have the hinged feature of course.
