The earrings are very delicate. The wires can be bent so you need to be careful but it is a bonus because you can manipulate the earring to fit better and compliment your ear lobes. If you are like me and have some lobe piercings that are not spaced very well, the plain metal hoop looks like an additional piercing. I wear this in my second hole. It nicely bridges the gap between hole two and three. I wear these earrings with other Adoremonde huggie earrings.
