Review (5/5): Nice sturdy cardboard packaging
Nice sturdy cardboard packaging. Earrings individually packed-so you can wear what you need and save the rest securely for anothet time. Earrings are 18 gauge (post thickness), which are a little thicker than "normal" 20 gauge size, but still easily insertable. The backs lock, so they are very secure for long term wear (they are a little tough to snap open/closed, but nothing inpossible). The post looks short, but they actually fit snuggly against my ear lobes without being tight (maybe 6mm long). The balls are bigger than expected from the product description of 2mm.They are more like 3mm size balls-still nice though. Not completely ball shaped, more like a domed ball top with a flat part on the surface against your ear. No big deal, still looks round from front. The back size is my only peeve, being used to tiny, almost invisible labret backs, these backs seem large and more crowded due to my multiple piercings. The gold color is also VERY authentic looking. My ears are tingling a little with these earring in them-but this could be due to putting 3 pairs in at once.
I' ll know pretty soon if the earring material irritates my ears and will post an update if they do. Overall a fantastic buy and value.
