I'm nearing 30, and after having three kids under 3 years old, I decided it was finally time to start investing in myself. These have been such a great step in that journey! I purchased these for my 2nd piercings and was a teeny bit worried they'd be too big, but they are perfect! I have bigger lobes/ears in general, and could probably have done the smaller version of these and been fine, but I like the look of the larger hoop, so I'm happy with them! I've bought no less than 10 items from GLDN thus far (peep my other two earrings from them) and will continue to be a repeat customer, especially as I upgrade my jewelry to solid gold over time :(
