I ordered this because I was getting sick of having a nose twist and decided to go for a simple stud instead. The price was right (especially for swarovski!) but I have to say that the stud is REALLY small and the ball at the end is smaller and shaped differently than the picture depicts. Also, it was NOT 20g! It was way to small for my piercing and it felt like it would fall out any second. I hated having it in feeling like that, so I took it out after about an hour and replaced it with my twist. I'm really disappointed with this, but you might like it better if you have an 18g piercing. Two stars because it was still a really cute piece of jewelry, just not for me.
