I've purchased the nylon post earrings before off of ebay and had some problems with them falling apart easily but so far I have had no problems with these earrings and they were cheaper than the ones I usually get on ebay.

The gems are a bit smaller than I had expected but I haven't had any go through my ear (or even come close) and I wear mine almost 24/7. I really like the variety of colors and they are nice for someone that doesn't like to bother with taking earrings in and out all the time.

The earrings arrived in a plastic container within an envelope but the plastic container shattered in shipping and it was a bit of a mess when I received the package. Not a big deal but it would be nice if the shipping was put together a little better.
