When I first pulled these from the package I immediately thought, Oh my goodness they are sooo small!!! But after reading all of the good reviews I thought how can this be? So I figured can't hurt to try one. I cleaned it in alcohol and put it in my belly button piercing.....voila.....it looks perfect! Even my husband noticed it the other day! He said it looked much better, and petite. I'm a petite girl that just turned 30. I've always been fit, and I have no idea why my piercing has gotten shorter over the years. I wanted something small, petite, and not very noticeable. I'm glad I tried this before returning it and why I wrote this review.....these look VERY SMALL in the package.... (like it will go right through!)....but try it first (after you clean it!)....you'll be happy with the result. I just wish I could find a real sterling silver or gold one of this exact size......I was surprised this one did not bother me at all....and I'm very sensitive to certain fake jewelry, but no problems with this one.....btw I've only worn the silver one.
