Love these! I ordered 20 gauge, 1.5". I really deliberately for a while on the size and I think I made the right choice for everyday wear. I picked the thicker gauge for strength and they are still very minimalist and pretty. I got a haircut just before they arrived and now the earrings line up with my hair length, so maybe I'll order the 2" as well for when I want a bit more fun and to have the length vary from my hair-- something to consider when looking. But overall they are exactly what I've been looking for. Really happy with them.
