These are handmade non-hole earrings. The charms are made of resin. Even for those with thicker earlobes, if you clip them onto something about the thickness of a notebook for 7-8 hours when you first start using them, you can wear them without pain. Most of the cost is for shipping and materials, so please understand that discounts are not possible. Please only purchase if you understand that these are handmade by an amateur.
