Barse Phoenix Genuine Blue Turquoise Oval Half Hoop Earrings

These turquoise earrings are lovely; however the stem has rough (not smooth) finish which hurts when I insert into earlobes. I would also suggest a change to the open-end of the hoop or that the ring on the turquoise was smaller to prevent from sliding off the hoop. I occasionally find the turquoise detached from the hoop in my jewelry box and if not careful, I could lose turquoise when wearing the earrings. Otherwise, these are one of my fav earrings to wear.
