I find that when the post is on the top hole, it sits looser and lower on my lobe (my personal preference). I have all of my Vintage sized earrings soldered to the top hole for comfort. I think I have meaty lobes (for lack of a better term!) so if you feel like you're the same, I'd have them on the top hole.Does anyone without a boutique nearby purchase earrings remotely? How does one get a comfortable clasp tightness or decide where the post should sit? By simply sending it back and forth? Seems tedious but I am curious...
