These are so cute - super petite and dainty, and very comfortable. That said, due to the small diameter of the hoop and the design of how to get them on and off, it’s very difficult to avoid bending the metal part that goes inside the hoop’s tube end. I’m experienced with this type of fastener on earrings but it just doesn’t work well for such a small size. I have the Live In earrings in 30mm size and there is ZERO issue with those, and I’ve also owned other pairs of similar size from other brands over the years that function the same way. Unfortunately it makes me very reluctant to wear these. It’s very difficult to open them enough to get them onto your ear and then reclose - it seems like it is too much stress on the metal. Will happily buy something else but I feel like there is a certain diameter and under that just isn’t suitable for this type of closure.
