I bought these at Anime Detour in March 2025 from her booth. I loved how I forgot I was even wearing them. So comfortable and no hooks to pinch my thicker ear lobes. Also, the owner knows so much about her products. I was able to get clear answers about the outer metals and the core metals for allergen concerns. She knew every detail versus other vendors would have a vague idea or relied on supplier info. Lastly, my friend was able to customize the earing from threaders to hook style for everyday wear. The threader are so comfortable and don't weigh down your ears for all day wear.
