These earrings are just the right size - not too large, not too small. The coloring and the design make them look elegant (no one would think you paid only 38$ for them as they do not look cheap at all). The backs are the larger, clear plastic disk backs which help hold them up so they don't cause any ear lobe sagging. I love them for my zoom meetings because they are wide enough to show behind my hair when I wear it down unlike my more slender hoops. Highly recommend these.
