Great quality sturdy posts, so much sparkle they look real. No complaints on the metal so far and I have sensitive skin. They don't seem like they will fade/tarnish. I got them in the size 4 because I wanted them to be pretty big. They definitely are that  and I might even order a size or two smaller for a more classy look. I think 5s would be much too big on just about anyone but I guess its really about personal preference.
