I was really excited to get these pearls. They were very pretty, and a great size.. not too big, not too small. However, after I started wearing them for a few days the silver paint that covers the stud came off inside of my piercing hole. I tried to get it all out..but it was quite difficult. Afterwards, it looked safe to wear them since the icky paint came off, but that was a big mistake. My ears turned green..just like when you buy a cheap ring. Its more disturbing when the green is inside your ear though. Sad.

Basically..if you need these for a one-time event, they're good. Don't wear them more than once.
