These are not only pretty (and exactly as pictured), they fit perfectly. I use Gauge Gear Stretching Balm in order to grease them up for inserting the tapers, and they work together for a comfortable stretch. the back o-rings are easy to remove and put on, too. Remember, you have to sterilize them before usage, but it's obvious these are implant-grade steel, as advertised. I will buy again from this seller when I'm looking for plugs as well.
