These earrings are very small, attached to nylon posts. They are inexpensive and no-one will think you're wearing diamonds in your ears. And, you know what, that's just fine with me. I have 4 piercings per ear and have gotten frustrated with all the metal settings in most post earrings. These little earrings have no metal setting to detract from the shine or snag my clothing/hair or stab my skull when I lie down.
I also realized that small size is more flattering  - I used to try to have graduated studs - large to small - going up my ear. But, that can look clunky. These are delicate and very shiny - perfect for me.
