I have small ears and bought two to wear in my first lobes all the time. They hug my lobes with just a bit of space. I have not taken them out since they arrived! I wanted something 14k gold, that I could easily put in myself, without a clasp poking out the back. Checks all the boxes! I was a little worried the wave pattern would be weird, but it is super subtle. I may buy the regular size wavy clickers too if they ever come back in stock.
