I dont like that part that sticks out the front, kinda ruins the symmetry of it

hlover I see what you mean from the side. I think they are interesting but not easy to put the stick through the earring, the piercing and earring again. To me the tribal look isn't about elegance or symmetry but more organic and primal so the flaws and not so pretty stuff sets the tone for the look.

They have to put the stick in from behind (turning the earring),that will look better.
i kinda like the wooden earrings
