I got these earrings to match the Sloane necklace for my wedding. I actually already wore them to another wedding and sadly lost one earring! They are beautiful and I am going to buy another set to replace the one I lost. I do wish they came with a backing since mine fell out of my ear. I will wear a backing when I get my new set because I want to keep them and wear them forever! I like how they are dangly but light and don't drag my ear down.
