“I purchased this as a cheaper option to replace an earring that I keep losing when removing my motorcycle helmet. I typically buy solid gold jewelry but was unwilling to keep throwing money down the drain on expensive jewelry that is so easily bent and lost. The shade of the stud is a bit more yellow than the gold in my ear, however it has stayed in place and fits my needs perfectly. When riding season returns, I'll see how well it stays put, but overall I am so satisfied with my purchase, the price, and the appearance of my jewelry. I will be a return shopper. Thanks!”
