I bought Ralph Lauren thinking it may be higher quality than other brands at Macy's, but when I wore the earrings, they were painful in my pierced ears - in the same way very cheap earrings are. When I tried to return them, I Macy's would not take them even though I had the receipts because I did not have the tags or boards they came on. I contacted Ralph Lauren and the response was dead silence. I will never buy this brand again.
