This earring is absolutely perfect. I have had a captive bead ring in one piercing but after having to take it out twice and not get it back right...I needed something different.  This star earring tucks nicely into my ear, is absolutely easy to put in and easy to put the back on. Just a couple tries and I had it down.  Screws together tightly, and two days later, no reaction from my ear (which reacts BADLY to nickel) so I know it's true sterling.  High quality and perfect.  I might actually order another...
