These are so fun! I designed the pendants on my computer and laser cut them from 1/8" opaque acrylic. The pendants are about 2.5" by 2.5". The earrings are sturdy but you should still be a little bit careful with them... just don't throw them into the bottom of your purse! Are your earring holes stretched? These earrings can be made with wrap-around earring hooks so that they won't accidentally fall out. Just mention that you would like wrap-around hooks in the "Notes to Seller" section! (please note that wrap around hooks will be gold and not black for the black pair) Please choose between candy pink, black or white at checkout.
