9ct Yellow Gold 13mm Plain Sleeper Earrings

I can’t do these up at the back, no matter how hard I try. You have to really pry them wide to get the pin to slot in. I hurt my ear holes trying to do it. I gave up after 10 minutes. I’ll need to get someone to help, which won’t be convenient when I’m in a hurry or on my own. I bought something else.
