I've worn these for a few months now and they have stayed shiny and in shape. My chemistry has an annoying habit of eating metals that are supposedly "hypoallergenic" and "indestructible". I guess my ears take it as a personal challenge and turn the metals black and porous. Gold is my only hope.

I bought 3 pairs of these earrings due to the fact they're set in gold and are screw back. Since I wear them nonstop, backs tend to wander off and get lost. The screw back keeps them in place. Also, being an adult, the posts extend the full length despite the fact they're worn in cartilage piercings. I've been pondering another purchase due to the quality of the product.

The fact they are CZ is a good thing, wearing diamonds make me paranoid. If they drop out? If they come out of the settings? Yipes! My lifestyle tends to define "chaos" and I can't worry about my earrings' integrity.

You won't be disappointed with them!
