Surgical Steel 4mm Ear piercing Earrings studs 12 pair Mixed Colors White Metal by Caflon, Glass and Surgical Steel

First off I want to say I love them and am very happy with the purchase. I got the 4mm in stainless set. I can even see buying the gold 4mm set as well in the future. The colors are lovely and the stones are large enough to really show the color. The packaging was small sterile piercing packs so if you are using them to actually pierce your or somebody 's ears then that might matter to you. I didn't get these for piercing, only for my own use as regular earrings.These have large posts and I knew that from other reviews before buying. I have ears that want to close up fairly fast so that didn't bug me. I actually wanted the larger posts to help stretch my tiny holes just a bit. However they are large posts and that might be a problem for some. For those unfamiliar gauge numbers, they get smaller as the size gets bigger. I used a caliper to measure the earrings I was pierced with and those are a 20 gauge. 18 to 20 gauge are typically used for most regular earrings. These measure out very close to a 16 gauge. Perhaps just a bit smaller like a 17 gauge? They are a bit tight for me going in and probably will be for most people who don't have their ear piercings stretched. They will fit but just be aware that it is bigger then most posts. These earring posts are just big enough to cause me a touch of discomfort and a speck of blood from getting them in. I am hoping to get my holes to this size because my ears just want to close.The only other thing I feel I should mention is that the posts seem to be the same actual length as most of my other earrings however...These earrings don't fit like others because of the thicker posts. It feels shorter on the ear. Now I have fairly thin earlobes and these do feel fine but because of the thicker post the post feels shorter as well. Like I said its pretty much the same length post as almost all the others I have. It just feels shorter.Here is my take on these.If you have thick earlobes these probably won't work for you.If you have tiny holes then these might feel uncomfortable going in. Even cause a touch of bleeding.If you have holes that are a bit stretched already then these might fit better then regular 18 or 20gauge.If you have have tiny holes that want to close up fast then these might give you the right amount of stretch to your holes to open them up a bit but keep in mind you should treat your ears as re-pierced for awhile till they have a chance to get used to being this size.

I can't wear what is called 'fashion earrings' my ears get raw and sore after a couple hours. Even ones that are supposed to be hypoallergenic, I react to what ever the earring front is made of. I can wear these because they are all steel. Because they're made for piercing and have to be in the ear for months they are made really well. The large backs don't dig into my ears. In fashion earrings the backs are sometimes small and sharp and don't stay on. I find thicker posts to be more comfortable and they keep my holes large enough to make the easy to see for my old eyes. I prefer bezels over prong set because the stones stay bright. I have 9 piercings in each ear. Clusters of these 4mm and the 3mm look really cute. I'm wearing all yellow topaz colored ones because I can't wait for fall to get here. The colors are bright and sparkly. A bonus is a set of 12 pairs of these costs less than 12 of those itchy fashion earrings.These are 16 guage earrings. If you got pierced at Claire's, those are 20 guage. It's best to wait a year for lobes and 2 years or longer for cartilage before bumping them up to 16 guage.I saw some reviews that showed pictures of earrings in baggies and and a separate baggies of cheap dodgy looking backs. Those are not Caflon, they are not sterile. Send them back!

Great earrings for a great price. I have bought these types of earrings a while back for gifts etc. and was desperate to find them again because I constantly lose either the studs themselves or the little back pieces. I love that there are so many colors so you can always have a matching color with your outfit. Another review claimed that the pictures were photoshopped to enhance the color and that the stones are so tiny that you can’t see the color. I can tell you that’s not true at all. The stones are the perfect size and if your eyes are working normal then you can see the colors perfectly fine and some of them pop. 🙂 I am very happy with the purchase. The studs are very comfortable. I can wear them in the shower or in the pool without any problem (and my ears are sensitive) and I can keep them in when I go to sleep and don’t even feel them. Definitely worth the purchase!

These earrings are pretty, but the stones are very, very small. I purchased these because 1) I prefer the larger posts of piercing earrings and I needed hypoallergenic earrings for my sensitive ears, and 2) I wanted something dainty. These are close. What I like: This is a set of 12 pairs so there is a color to match everything. The backs stay on. They are comfortable to wear for weeks on end without removing. They don't irritate my sensitive ears. They have the larger posts I was looking for. I wish these were offered in a size 2mm larger. With the silver wrap the stones are very small and it's hard to see them. Overall a great value.

This is an awesome set of 12 piercing earrings, with 12 different colors for the birthstone months. They are 16g in size, so they are bigger posts than the usual 20g size most earrings are. However, I have found they are perfect for my helix piercing that seems to prefer the thicker posts as it heals…and beyond. The quality is excellent! They arrived safely, in sterile condition, without any problems. They are just like Studex piercing studs. The clasps/backs can be a tighter fit, but if you are simply wearing them (not piercing with them), you can work the clasps a bit before using the earring to get them coming off easier. No complaints here at all! Love them! 4mm and sparkle! Price was amazing! Awesome!!
