    @No Chantal, I wrote it on top, I have no Commercial rights for this Picture, as it is not by me. It is just to Show how they wear These spiral earrings. Their holes in the earlobes must be very large! it would not fit us!! But one can always attach it to a European size earring as a pendant....(I do this with many earrings that are too thick to go through my small holes in the ear).
