I bought this pair from JC Penny's about a year or so, ago. I remove them only for cleaning. They stay on tight, are very small and sparkly. I wear them in the top 2 of 4 ear piercings and I like the hoops better than little studs. I don't even feel that they are in, they're that comfortable. This is a decent price as well, I believe I paid $50 bucks for them a year ago, and gold was cheaper then!
