First off, let me say that these earrings were a great buy. You get 12 pairs of sterilized studs. They look really nice, especially if you have more than one ear piercing, which is why I bought them. I have three piercings in each lobe and all the other earrings I was trying were turning my piercings funny colors or leaving buildup. I will say that these must be a slightly different gauge than what I was wearing before, because when I put them in there was a bit of a stretching feeling. I got my ears pierced at Claire's so maybe that's why. Anyway once I got them in they were totally fine, comfortable and looked great.

Now the only reason that I gave them 4 instead of 5 was the awful shipping costs. These were still a great deal at $22, but honestly $5.95 for standard shipping on an item so light is absurd. I don't regret buying them, and they did arrive a lot faster than I thought they would (about 2 days, and they came in on a Saturday).

I would highly recommend these!
