I have been searching for small hoops like these for so long and I am so happy that I found these ones. They are much more affordable than any other similar hoops that I have found and I love that they are sold as singles rather than a set. I have multiple piercings in both of my ears so I really wanted to find something that I could leave in all time and not have to worry about. I have had these hoops in for a couple of weeks now and they have not tarnished or bothered my ears at all. The little hoop closure on the back is a little hard to close at first but once you get it, it doesn't open back up and you don't have to worry about the earring falling out.
