These comfortable, attractive, tiny birthstone earrings crafted as squares on-point are a delight to wear. They are the type called huggies. These snap closed to lock securely - you can be confident that they will not come apart and be lost. I bought the March birthstone - aquamarine - for 2 reasons - I like the pale blue color and 1 of my sisters was born in March. I would highly recommend them to give as a gift to yourself, or to another that you would like to treat to a reasonably priced, quality pair of earrings~ The store responds to questions in a courteous, timely manner. . .
