Let me start by saying these hoops are *gorgeous* at first glance. The hammered sterling silver gives them a unique boho-chic texture that catches the light beautifully. After wearing them daily for 3 weeks, I can confirm they haven't tarnished - a major plus for silver jewelry!

The 1.5" diameter is perfect for making a statement without being overwhelming. I've worn them to brunch dates and even fell asleep in them once (oops!) because they're surprisingly lightweight. That said, the thinness that makes them comfy also makes them delicate - I nearly bent one while adjusting my hair.

Biggest surprise? They arrived in a cute velvet pouch (though some buyers expected fancier packaging). While the post-and-clip closure works fine, it does require careful handling - these aren't earrings you can mindlessly fidget with.

Verdict: Great for those wanting affordable boho flair, but don't expect heirloom quality. At this price point, they're perfect for occasional wear rather than daily abuse.
