What a bargain! Just like the starter studs at the salon, but much cheaper.  Bought these because we kept losing earrings and had problems with infections from other earrings. I had both girls wear the starter studs for over a year until holes were fully healed.  This gave them some variety.  Be aware that the ends are sharp and backs are very hard to take off.  No complaints from my 6 or 8 year olds while wearing them, just a bit challenging to change..
