My boyfriend Brian bought me this for my bday. It’s nice looking with my other gold “ear party”, but the clasp, which is virtually impossible to use, is not as pictured. It looks totally different. It’s a bar that has a small recessed divet, if that makes sense, and you need to pop it into the tiny divet space to get some leverage to open the hoop. It is very, very, very difficult and disallows me from changing out the earring as regularly as I’d like. It takes me minutes to get in/out, and is painful and involves me folding my ear and getting very frustrated, and most recently, bending the earring.
