These are great! They arrived with an ornate bag that I gave to my girlfriend. I have one ear pierced but have had nothing in it for a couple years. I was able to (eventually) get this in and it looks really good. I've had a few people mention them, citing it as a "very masculine man-earring".  The hinge mechanism is new to me and I love it. The edges are sharp but it is never really a problem.  They are fairly small in diameter... really just perfect in my opinion.
