These are exactly the kind of earring I had when I got my ears pierced long ago.  I love the quality, and the very firm backs that stay on.  This set consisted of a star, heart and traditional ball shape.  I have one ear double pierced, and have wanted to find my star piercing studs that I lost...and now have found!  Be forewarned, these ARE piercing studs, and the back post does have a sharp point to it!  Its all okay though, as the back stopper keeps the sharp point from stabbing you.  Also...the post is a little thicker than you may be used to.  If so, you may experience discomfort as you put them in!  This company shipped my set of three earrings in four days, AND included extra backs (in case I lose one).  This was a great value & purchase.  Recommend!
