I never really wore earrings until I made these. Traditional french ear wires hang so low or are too long in the back they irritate me. I hand wire these french ear wires so they are smaller, almost like mini hoops. Yes, earrings you can sleep in and I love the touch of femininity they give. With over 100 Symbols or up to 4 characters to choose from I am sure I have something for everyone. If not, just contact me with your ideas.
