    Beth- The ear wires, if they are the shepherd hook style, must always
    be longer than the earring itself. If not the earrings tip and fall
    out. This is a common mistake that even big manufacturers make. Just
    like the bottom of the shank of a ring must be thinner than the top
    of the ring or the top will bend first thus loosing stones. Enjoy
    your earrings.
