I really loved the color of this, and the gem fit in fine. Everything was ok for about 2 weeks, then it broke! I'm not one to fiddle with my stud in my mouth, so I'm really surprised that it split like this. The flat base separated from the post completely while I was wearing it. I really wanted this stud to work out, but apparently it is not worth the money. I gave up using the metal studs after chipping my tooth pretty badly, so this was my last option for keeping my 6 year lip piercing. I am very disappointed in this product and I do not recommend it to anyone who plans on wearing it for more than 2 weeks.
