These posts look great.  I cleaned them and then put them on immediately after receiving them. they don't hurt when i sleep in them and they are just the size i was  hoping for.  sometimes its hard to determine by the pic how big they really are but there is a shine to these and love the size.  they are truely perfect.  And best of all you won't break your pockets on these beauties. I've only  had them about 3 days but no discoloration or anything. I also ordered a ring but i haven't received it yet. I would buy from this jewler again. Definetely!!
