Pretty!
The earrings are really pretty, the CZ sparkles!<br /><br />They are a bit bigger than I was expecting from the pictures on the model.<br /><br />The reason I’m giving them 3 stars is because despite what the product listing says they are not flimsy and bendable… Which sounds like a good thing but in this case it’s not. The wire gauge is at least 18g which is significantly bigger than standard earring posts.<br /><br />I struggled to put them in because the wire/post is so large, and I put them in my oldest piercings that I’ve had for over 40 years. I’ve never ever had any issues inserting earrings even thicker long threaders.<br /><br />Also, I do not believe that they are actually 925 sterling silver and nickel-free. They are definitely plated from the consistent and even shine on the circle and setting… They are really “bright” and shiny, for polished real silver. The great price (under $10 at the time of review) I did question the authenticity of 925 sterling silver when ordering.<br /><br />I have sensitive skin and a nickel allergy, and within an hour I started to feel the dreaded tingle and soreness in the piercings. I left them in a few hours to see how long I could stand to wear them because they are very pretty and I want to use them. Luckily they hadn’t started oozing yet when I took them out, but a day later my piercings are sore to the touch still. I can’t put in earrings in those holes for a few days for the irritation to clear up.<br /><br />So I can wear them for about 2.5 hours max… They are very pretty but if you have newer piercings you may have issues putting them in, and if you have any sensitivities to metals in cheap earrings at all, I’d skip these.
