I bought these for my boyfriend. They are quality earrings and worth the price paid. However, I'm not sure that they were exactly what he wanted. He wore them for a week, then tore one out in his sleep, so he took them out, waited for the tear to heal, re-pierced the ear, and has yet to put them back on. They do look nice on him though when he does wear them. Other reviews are right about the thickness of the posts. The screw backs are helpful in keeping the earrings on securely, but be cautioned that if they get pulled on, it will tear your ear. Overall, he appreciated the gift and they look nice on him.
