These are great for the $, but.I’ve had a lot of sterling silver studs and although these are stamped 925, I really doubt that they are actually silver. The studs *might* be, but the backs certainly don’t feel or look like sterling, even though they’re stamped. Also, I bought 3 pairs and, of those, 2 have a sharp spot on the 3mm disk that catches on clothing/ cotton swabs. It’s not noticeable if you’re just looking at them, but had I known, I would have bought something of better quality.See full review
