I wore these earrings to a western themed fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. I don't usually wear large earrings, so renting was a great way to go outside my 'box'. Pro's they were large, very large, and made a great statement. Con's - they were large, a bit heavy. They did not arrive with a rubber back/stopper, so during the night I was lucky to find one that had fallen out - sitting on the floor. They also arrived needing a good polish - but at least I could tell they were real silver.
