These earrings are amazing. As a guy who likes to experiment with his style, I was looking for something different. These 14k gold plated sterling silver earrings are not just for women. They're flat back earrings with a secure click - top closure, which is great for me. I can wear them as ear studs guys. I bought them in New York, and they've added a cool touch to my outfits. They're hypoallergenic, so no worries about allergies. They're also a nice alternative to the usual types of earrings I've worn before. Definitely a great purchase!
