Beautiful! I just wonder how they wear this, as they are quite thick to pass an ear.

Yes endeed but they have big ear wholes to wear them...

Ear holes are larger and as this style of earring is usually heavy, they are sometimes worn with the top loop over the back of the ear. There is a classic example of this in Angela Fisher's "Africa Adorned" book.
