Very pretty! Super feminine and sparkly. I'm still shocked that I found dangly, heart-shaped earrings with such a nice sparkle. I can't say anything about the metals used or any reactions because I use clip-adapters since I can't pierce my ears. (weird family crap) But these are light enough to not pull the clips off my ears. So they shouldn't pull you earlobes at all. If you want pretty, femme, and sparkly, Here ya go, girl!
