These looked killer with a simple black dress. Loved them!

Perfect addition to the LBD I wore. Not super heavy and for pierced or un-pierced ears. Did hurt my ears toward the end of the night but it was doable.

These earrings are gorgeous. I made sure to read the reviews to know what I was getting into. No, the earrings do not have a design on the back and this did not bother me at all. Previous readers said these earrings are heavy. I dont think that they are heavy, I think that the tight clip on this earring hurts after time, which makes wearers think its the weight. This earring is for pierced ears, but there is a clip as well, as if you were wearing clip ons. And, boy -- is it tight. I think this is what was making ladies think it was the weight. For me, it was the pinching.

The only reason I gave these earrings four stars is because they are pretty heavy. After wearing them for seven hours, my ears were hurting pretty badly. But, they are beautiful – I received complement after complement on them!!

Gooooooorgeous earrings, I've been receiving compliments on they all day long. No gripes here!

So many great colors in them, to go with everything. I wore them 4 days in a row. Only complaint, you can't really wear them for more than 5-6 hours. They are a bit heavy!

These earrings are not for the faint of heart. They're big! A little heavy, but the post is reinforced by a clip on back. I wouldn't wear them for a 12 hour day, but for a party or wedding they were great. The black felt backing does make them look a little like pretzels, but the front is so pretty I didn't mind at all. Pull your hair back into a ponytail to really show them off.

Very big...a little heavy so they pull a bit. Very cool nonetheless and made an all back outfit pop.

I didn't end up wearing because they were a little heavy and looked too much like an "8." I also didn't like how the gems were glued to a black felt-like backing, so if you're hair is worn up the look from the back isn't so nice. I was expecting something more elegant.

As other reviewers have said, these earrings were VERY heavy. I didn't end up wearing them to my event, because I wore them for about 30 minutes to try them out and knew that the weight would bother be at the wedding. It was too bad, because I really love the way they look!
