Why does the tsv look like its hanging low on the ear on Leah and some of the models?

I love JR and want to purchase them, but they look like the hang funny. Can anyone help?

I don't know what the TSV looks like, but some women wore heavy earrings in the 80s, and their ear piercings stretched downward.

All of the reviews that I've read have been positive. Personally, I have thin lobes and I wear a support disc with ALL of my earrings. All of JR's earrings that I have, and I have too many, work with the disc. But, if you have average ear lobes you should be fine , anyway. Everyone has been raving about them!

I noticed that on one of the models a few minutes ago....

Between that and wondering if that Omega back is going to be too tight and hurt my lobe...I have very thick lobes and teeny holes....(never wore those heavy earrings from long ago)

I would like to purchase them....but am concerned...i hate that return shipping cost...

I have seen the reviews, but I have a stunning set from JR years ago that I don't wear because my earlobe hurts after wearing them. Maybe these are lighter weight. I have a little slit in my ear from wearing 80's earrings.

I own two pairs of JR's earrings, one pierced and one non-pierced, with that particular backing, and they don't hurt my ears at all.

Also, where your holes are located in your ears could determine droop.

They are sitting "low" on all the models and hosts. It really isn't because their piercings have stretched or because this earring is heavy. It has to do with the "shortness" of the omega backing. There isn't enough space to position the earring on the actual center of the lobe and then close the backing, on both the clip and the pierced. I got these home and had to return them due to this.

I'm one of those who ordered these earrings early. I have thicker earlobes. For me, these earrings sit perfectly on my ear. Plus they don't hurt. I know I've had to return some of JR's earrings over the years either because they wouldn't fit my ear or they hurt so bad. For me, these don't do those things. And since they are on easy pay I was willing to get them home & see for myself.

I wish she'd do something other than omega backs. They just look like clip-ons to me, and I don't like that look on me.

expatgal...is right.. They DO sit low because of the short omega backs ...I sent mine back also !! The posts on mine were bent also ..

Omega backs are not my favorite......I have several and they all are uncomfortable. I prefer lever backs or posts.......so I am passing on these today.

I also think it has to do with the size of your lobe and placing of the piercing. I know one of my piercings is lower than the other, so that always makes one earring sit a little lower.

Thanks for that information.

As someone who does not have pierced ears I was very interested in the TSV because of the smaller size of the earring. If the omega back is too short they probably will fall off my ears and someone else will be enjoying the earrings after I lose them.

I thought the same thing, they don't sit right like a stud usually does. I almost bought them, but every time I saw them, they just didn't sit right, even on the models. Too bad because they were pretty.

I even heard Judith make the statement her manufacturer told her it wouldn't be possible to put an omega back on this earring, but she kept insisting.

I would have bought them, if they had a regular clutch back.

Judy's posts are too long for my earlobes and the earrings droop, so I buy the clips which work fine.

These simple support discs will help alot with drooping. Etsy has them in different sizes. They are inexpensive and reusable.
