Gift to Myself
I'd been looking for a pair of earrings like these for a while. I have a two pairs of larger hoops similar to these which I've had for years. These "Thai Flair" are perfect for 24/7 wear; I usually only remove earrings every few months. One reviewer commented that these were difficult to insert on thick lobes, but as I have small, thin lobes, these are perfect.
Tradition
This a gift I purchased for a cousin in Colombia. She travels a lot for work and appreciates things made from many countries. She especially loves hand made jewelry and when she read about the creator of these earrings, his story, background and passion, they mean so much more to her and she told me that the hands that formed them are those of an artist creating beauty that represents his country.
