This is my second pair, i tried to shape them myself and snapped off a butterfly.. My husband used a solid copper coated wire and carefully shaped it to my ear. Then took jewelry needle nose pliers and matched the ear cuff to the pattern.. the picture shows the before shape. There is quite a differenceI bought this for my granddaughter. It was even better than I expected! It looks far more expensive than it is.Price was good looks beautiful but break easy keep also coming off from the ear ce on time well for the price what we want ?There are no instructions on how to put this in your ear and I have very small ears and they could not fit me...I may need to have someone put them in for me because I can't even do it on my own.These are not easy to put on and they are very awkward and have too much going on.They break easy never got a chance to wear it. I broke when I tried to put them on!Very cheap made. Broke first day I had it.These things were either too small and poorly made, not made for human ears, or all of the above. Maybe directions could've helped but nothing was included. What a waste and such a disappointment for me and my daughter. I would not recommend.
