Look cool as hell! Also super inaccessible!

I was so excited to buy these earrings, I love the way they look on. That's where it ends for me, because they are extremely difficult to put on, and to keep on. I screwed the balls on tightly, and a few hours later one still fell into my garbage disposal. (It is wrecked now because I didn't realize it had fallen in until I fished it out after several runs where something was rattling, but I could not easily find it for being so very small.) I think there are a lot of changes that could be made to make these earrings safer and more accessible, and I'm sure my requests may be met with something like "well everything can't be accessible to everybody" even though I do think even abled people would struggle to get these earrings on right. The design is great visually, but as far as functionally, I do think we need to go back to the drawing board. There needs to be an easier guide to get the balls on the threading, you have to do it now all by vague feel, and keeping that tiny round ball between my fingers to try to catch the thread is near impossible. The threading into the ball is also not long enough if these can be screwed tightly on and still fall off after a few hours of wear. It's also just difficult in the first place to get the bar through the earlobe but also properly on the other large earring piece. I've never had this much trouble putting on a piece of jewelry in my life, and I've installed a J style nose stud into my own face before (notoriously difficult and fiddly). I think generally TV needs to do more thinking and work on providing more accessible designs, there's already the emphasis on size inclusivity so I know you guys care about access in that way, it would be really cool if that intention were opened more broadly to making more of your clothes more accessible to disabled people as well. (Yes that means very many different things and yes many items are already technically accessible to many people, and at the same time it would be more meaningful and effective if that intention was present and items were not just accessible due to happenstance.)

Cute but a little impractical

These are very cute! The only issue is they’re a little hard to put on, and just not practical unless you don’t change earrings often. I have a few screw in earrings and these aren’t that hard to screw on. The large round bottom part (not the bar, idk how to explain it lol) is difficult to ensure it’s in place when inserting the bar, and then it makes it a little harder to screw the ball in. Overall though they look awesome and I will wear them when I have time to fool with them!

Super cute but faulty design

I loved the look of these and they feel really good quality, but the bar is too short to make them an easy wearing experience.

new favorite heavy and chunky earrings

I've been looking for new chunky industrial earrings made out of a safer/reliable material and these are pretty perfect. I would say they're probably a little heavy for some people especially since the gauge of the post is a smaller standard earring gauge. I only really noticed my ears were a little tender after a full day of wearing them but I wear jewelry in my multiple lobe piercings 24/7. They're also a little fiddly to put on bc the ball end sits pretty snug against the horse bit ring where it screws into the end of the post, but I was able to get them on pretty easily. Minor issues aside I think these are soooo cute. If it's possible to make a larger size a little lighter I would love to have multiple sizes so I can stack them!
