These are very pretty and look really nice. The stone isn't too big or too small. The gauge is very small so if you have a fresh piercing that's bigger size (like mine), I don't recommend keeping them in for long periods if you expect to get the larger side nose bone/stud back in. If you have a tiny gauge size then you're good to go. They don't feel like they're over-the-top great quality metal, but they didn't turn my nose green or anything. I suppose it's too be expected for the price you pay. These are great for dressy, now and then occasions.
