    The Little & Five Earrings are delicately crafted minimalist studs made from hypoallergenic metals, combining subtle elegance with everyday versatility.

    Kelly R said:  My daughter loves her growing collection of Little and Five earrings. They're hypoallergenic and feature a screw-back design that's more secure and comfortable - no pointy ends! I love that they're affordable, because there are so many fun designs to stock up on, from classic ones to quirky and seasonal.

I bought this as a birthday gift for my 10-year-old. She is very much into squishes and this one offers a way to paint four different squishes.
