GETTING THEM IN THE EAR: Getting these little guys in is best done with a friend, even for someone experienced like myself. First, the earring needs to be twisted (SEE LAST PHOTO) open to allow you to get it through the hole. Once in, have your helper twist the ends back until they meet. You may need to mess around with this stage a little to get the closure just right. Once in, they are meant to be left in place. Taking them in and out will deform the metal over time. That is the nature of this style of hoop.
Each piece of jewelry in my shop is individually handcrafted by me in my studio.
