316L Surgical Steel CBR Horseshoe Circular Rings Nose Eyebrow Tragus Lip Ear Hoop Ring Piercing 20G 6MM 8MM 10MM 12MM

This review is for the 20 gauge set of 6 pairs (12pcs). --Overview: I waited a while to review these to see if I had the problems others did, with being unable to unscrew the balls or having them come off and get lost, as well as to see if they irritated my ears. I'm pleased to report that of the three pairs I've worn so far (the rainbow, rose gold, and black) I've had no problems at all. The first pair I used jewelry pliers to unscrew the ball but I'm not sure I needed to -- I've had no trouble with the rest. The only thing I wish is that the rose gold were rosier -- it's hard to tell they're rose unless you're compare them with a careful eye next to the yellow gold -- there isn't much difference. But that's nothing at all compared to the value for price. I haven't tested the silver, yellow gold, or blue, but wanted to go ahead and leave a review because I love these so much and fully expect to love the other three pairs just as much. --Super comfortable! My ears get easily irritated by anything that's heavy at all or is a thicker gauge, and I don't think much about earrings so I tend to go without for too long and then the holes start to close and it's hard to get anything in, which just irritates them more. I wanted earrings I could just leave in 24/7, and I thought this style would work because of the round balls on each end -- no pointy bits to bother me while I sleep. Got these and am so glad. I've had a pair on since I received them and hardly notice them except that I like to mess with them and turn them around and whatnot. --Mix and match! Hoops or studs! The picture is of the black hoops with their balls swapped out for the rose gold ones. Mix and match yay! I've worn the rainbow and rose gold as well, and it's super easy to spin them around to either have one ball flush against the front of the lobe and the other cupping the bottom, or with one flush against the back so they look like normal hoops (at least from the front and mostly from the side). --A little hard at first... A few things to note: I started with the rainbow pair and they were hard to get in at first. The gauge is fine, the same as most of my earrings, and I had put in a pair of stud earrings first to be sure the holes were open, but it was still a challenge. I think maybe it's because of the threading, but in any case after quite a bit of patience and struggle I did get the first pair on. I used an antibiotic ointment to help smooth the way and minimize irritation. I've had no trouble getting them on since then. The tiny balls are hard to keep a grip on and get screwed onto the threads, and I have pretty small fingers -- someone with larger fingers might have more trouble. The first time was by far the hardest, but a pair of those thin, stretchy, powder-free medical/baby care gloves helped a lot. Also, do put a towel in the sink or under wherever you're putting them in! I almost lost one because I thought I had closed the stopper but there was a little gap. I rescued it though and all was well. With a little practice it's a lot easier. --Be sure they're threaded all the way on! As far as losing the balls, I'll just say that when I put in the ones I have on today, I thought I had threaded the ball on successfully but then noticed that I could see the silver threading on the black hoop. The ball wasn't screwed on, it was stuck there on the end -- I'd misaligned it like I always do the peanut butter jar. A few more tries and I got it screwed on right, so CHECK to be sure you can't see the threading! The balls fit all the way on, so if you can see any threading you've probably misaligned the ball and then it WILL fall off. I like these so much I may go and get my second holes re-done.

I have my cartilage pierced on both sides and for years I’ve been stuggling with uncomfortable earrings. I couldnt lay my head the way I wanted when sleeping, my hair would get caught and wrapped up on the back, and if god forbid I or someone else bumped them...owwwww! That all changed with these earrings. They are a little hard to put on, but once they are I don’t have to think about them. I can sleep, tuck my hair behind my ear, etc without ever thinking about them. And I love the way they look! All in all great quality earrings for a good price, that won’t tarnish, don’t hurt, and look cute. Definitely recommend/will be buying more colors in the future.

Really great! Helped my helix heal properly after I found out my piercer used nickel on me instead. (I should have done more research on the piercer and on piercings in general at the time.) One warning I have is that the little balls at the end are small and are very easy to lose. I recommend doing it in a small room where it will be easy to find if it falls out while you're putting them in or please make sure to plug your drains if you're going to do it in the bathroom. These things can be tricky to put in (if you're a first timer like me) as I lost one of the balls and now I can only rock one jewel. But you'll get the hang of it in due time. No rusting, authentic, I suggest you buy yourself a pair.

Disregard any previous reviews about this item that are negative because if you know what you are doing and you know what you are buying you are getting a great product at a great price! I have been wearing body jewelry for 10 years I bought these for my snakebites. I knew exactly what to expect for the size and there are no problems with these jewelry pieces if you are experienced like me, you can easily put them in and tighten the balls and the balls will not fall off. Like all jewelry you just have to make sure that you were tightening the ball on the thread correctly. I would buy these again. The negative reviews for this listing are people that clearly do not know what they are doing or what they are buying, and have no idea how to use body jewelry. Which is not the sellers fault and there’s nothing defective about these body jewelry pieces.

I have no complaints! They are true to size and very nice to look at. I put these in the cartilage at the top of my ear. (The helix I think is what it's called). My piercing was done years ago with your typical piercing gun...I believe those are your standard 22 or 24 gauge so I did have to oil this down a bit to wiggle it into place. My fingers (with or with out nails) can't seem to hold onto those tiny balls when trying to screw them back on so I've just been using a small set of needle nose pliers and have had no issues. The look wonderful and are super comfy to sleep in. I can't even tell they're there. Happy shopping!

I really liked these until all of the balls started unscrewing and getting lost. I have very sensitive ears but these did not hurt my ears so I was very excited about them. I check my earrings multiple times a day and now have lost 4 of the screw on backs.

I give it one star because I love the look! However the balls are sooo bad! I didn't read all reviews before buying it. The first second I opened one of the earring the ball fell out of my hand because it is sooo tiny. But hey that was my fault! I was very upset because I couldn't find it but again it was my fault so I sucked it in. Then I put my other earring in and screwed the ball on so tight and it looked absolutely gorgeous and I thought I was good to go. I was actually thinking about buying another pair just because I loved it so much. Until I went out and came back home to look in the mirror and found that the earring had no ball on it!! The ball fell out and I didn't even feel it! And that's what most reviewers wrote as well :/ so now both of my earrings are useless! I advise the seller to maybe put more balls in with the earrings in case we lose any there are replacements because obviously this is a common issue and no one will want to purchase earrings that will fall out within a few hours!

I had my cartilage pierced on a whim at a mall with a piercing gun, and when my ears finally healed, I was disappointed to find out I could only wear 20 gauge earrings in my new piercing (another reason why you shouldn't get them done at a mall). But after searching and searching, I found these horseshoe earrings and they're an absolutely perfect fit. They're so comfortable! I sleep in them with no problems. They slip in easily, and with some practice (pulling the open end of the earring to the front, so that the side with the ball lays against your cartilage area), it's easy to screw the little balls on. If you're having trouble unscrewing them, I find that using a rubber jar opener works wonders. I love these earrings and the variety of colors/metals so much! Thanks!
