Sweet size earrings

I had a mini yellow gold frivole and carnelian sweets but find them too small. While I find them very easy to wear, I still prefer hoops or Huggies for 24/7 wear. I also find vintage size earrings
closure easier to put on and remove. I let the minis go except this hammered RG, thinking of letting it go! My only hesitation is this one can be worn taking a shower, etc., very carefree.

The sweets are cute but so hard to put on and take off. I tried twice and just could not do it. My jewelry has to be easy on and off. The VCA pousette is harder than the Tiffany ones. The vintage VCA earrings are sooooo easy to wear, I love the post and clip system!

Right. And the vca la poussette backings kinda hurt the fingers. I would buy the Amazon ones that have a larger grip to use instead. Luckily my pair was purchased prior to them switching la poussette backs.
Thank you for all the pictures. I have the mini yellow gold frivoli and they are my most used earrings. They do have the la poussette backings but I have gotten use to them. I wear a mask everyday for work and I love that I do not have to worry about them. Also if I am in hurry in the morning I do not always take them off for showering.
BUT I just bought the sweet Alhambra in the turquoise and man what a mission to put on and off. For some reason my mini frivoli are so much easier. I might get the sweet Alhambra in rose gold just to keep them on 24/7 in the future.
Please can you post a link to the Amazon backing you are referring to? Thank you so much.

Notice how the sides where you pinch have a little lip. That lip makes gripping to squeeze so much easier. I bought the pack that has silver and gold colors. I find them very easy to squeeze compared to the VCA ones. Let me know what you think.

Ahh these are all so adorable! Just curious, for those who own sweet earrings, what is the backing like? Are they secure? Stud earrings have fallen off on me so many times so I’m too nervous about getting any fine jewelry earrings. :annoyed:

Hello.
I have the sweet Alhambra which are very secure at the back. Even tough to remove at night. I love the sweet version, a bit more discrete but very elegant. Also, I you have more than one piercing, the sweet version allows you to wear other small diamonds or loops on the other ear holes. Also, as a set, I find sweet earrings more interesting with vintage necklace . Hope it helps
