Stainless Steel Cubic Zirconia Stud Earrings Helix Cartilage Earrings Flat Back 3-7mm 5 Pairs

Bought these for myself so I can wear them daily without having to remove them for bed.Firstly, they look a lot like real gold, which I didn't expect since most gold-plated stainless steel often looks more orange in color. But the color is true to 10k or 14k, which is perfect. And the CZs are absolutely quality and gorgeous!I have only worn CZs and moissanite for about 25 years (since I first studied DeBeers in college and discovered what a terrible cartel they are). So I have a lot of jewelry that's CZ, and these are among some of the best, in terms of looking like authentic diamonds.Of note: these posts ARE a bit thick, but not like body piercing-thick. They are a bit thinner than the starter earrings you get when you first get your ears pierced.The backs are also much smaller than they look. I'd say they are no larger than 1/6-1/4"...or about 4-5mm. Being that I'm starting to have dexterity and vision issues, this makes them a bit difficult to put on from time to time, but nothing that would deter me from wearing them.The only REAL drawback to these : they WILL sag a bit if you don't put something on the back to keep them up. I use  Hearos Ultimate Softness Series Foam Earplugs, 20-Pair , and they work perfectly. I just slice the ends into 1/4" thick pieces, then push one onto each post behind my earlobe before screwing on the back. (See the pics I've uploaded). It's a perfect solution--keeps the earring lying flat, cushions your back lobe and, because they are flesh-colored, you can't see them! If you have cartilage piercings, you can just cut them from the top to fit.

I love these products, as I have many piercings on my ear lobes. Very comfortable, I was always losing my regular earring backs, these don’t allow any poking behind your ears, so they are easy to sleep in if you prefer:) I’ve had them for 3 years and will continue to use this brand! They also don’t turn your ears blue, as I have had a previous problem with that! They stay very clean and shiny.

Item arrived quickly, well packaged, all 10 pieces (5pairs) included. The piercings look well made, the CZ appears well-secured on all 10 pieces. The flat back is a bit thicker than the usual flat back posts I get from the piercing shop so they were more noticeable when I slept on my side, however, these are still more comfortable than the ball backs if that's what you're comparing it to. I think the gauge is actually between an 18G and 16G because I was able to slide this into my 18G inner conch piercing w/o any issues. One issue I had was that a few of the piercings didn't seem to secure tightly. Despite screwing them in tightly by wearing gloves, a gentle touch would loosen them right away (this was on 3 of the 10 piercings) so I don't think I'll be able to wear those.I've been wearing 2 of the piercings for the last 3 days and the backing remains secure. I'm a little cautious because I've purchased other "stainless steel" piercings in the past and it turned out only the actual post (length) of the piercing was stainless steel and other parts like the setting/prongs were some other metal, which ended up turning my ear green within a few hours and causing a severe reaction. These have been good so far though and I'm hopeful it will stay this way. I have small ears and usually prefer the 3/16in posts but the 6mm length is doable for my inner conch/cartilage/helix piercings as long as I'm not wearing the bigger studs there (there's not much sagging but there's still a bit of extra length). I'm not able to wear it on my regular lobe or upper lobe piercings b/c the post is too long. Overall, out of all the piercings I've ordered, these seem decent, good quality, and very reasonably priced.UPDATE: I've been wearing 3 of the piercings for the last 2 weeks and the backing remains secure. Also, no nasty green-ness after multiple showers which is definitely a plus!

These are comfortable to sleep in because there is no sharp end to poke you behind the ear. They stay on very well. Can be a little more difficult to put on and take off, but that's the trade for staying on and being comfortable. They look great too. They are great for narrower ear lobes, as they don't hang out of the earlobe, they hold up nicely against the ear and look high quality.

I LOVE the flat backs of these post earrings. I am in office work and am on the phone constantly and it hurts to have post earrings in and be on the phone.. These have completely fixed that. I am also very metal sensitive so most earrings cannot stay in my ears because it will cause a painful reaction. I have had these in my upper ear piercings for weeks without any issues at all. The only issue for me personally is that the post is a bit large for the size of my ears so they sometimes appear like they are falling out but are definitely secure. Not all ears are the same and most people may find they fit perfect for them. I will also say it's only the largest stone size that I have this issue with and I believe it's partially because of the weight although they aren't heavy or anything. I would recommend these to anyone who wants earrings that go in and then are left in the ear. The screw back is easy to do because it's flat like a disk as opposed to a round ball which for me is WAY harder to try and screw securely into place.

These are very pretty but posts were too big. They wouldn’t fit through any of my holes.

I purchased these with the intent of wearing them in my ear piercings. I'm not sure if I read the gauging wrong or what, but the post is much to thick for my ear piercings (regular piercings in the lobe and one in the upper cartilage). They were difficult to get into the holes and once they were in I tried to keep them in for 4 days hoping the soreness would go away but it didn't and I am returning them. Other than that, I loved them! They were a great price and great quality and the screw on backs were so wonderful to have for my active life.
