Review on 16G CZ Triple Forward Helix Ear Cartilage Tragus Studs Earrings Lip Piercing 2/3/4Mm by Inocencio Anas

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Pretty but difficult to put in

I've had my triple helix for several years and have never changed the jewelry. Recently I decided I wanted a change from the black diamonds/crystals I had to something more a bit more sparkly and white diamond-like so I found these and placed my order. The staggered size is really nice and the 8 mm post is the perfect length for my ears. My only complaint is that these were RIDICULOUSLY difficult for me to put in. Granted, I have large hands so trying to handle these tiny stones to get them twisted onto the posts literally took me two days.Getting the backs on was not the issue. That's the easy part; just feed a regular post earring in through the front then stick the back of the flat back labret onto the post and push back through. Then all you have to do is figure out a way to take these tiny stones and twist them onto the posts. The largest and medium sizes were fairly simple in comparison to the smallest. I more or less took tweezers and grabbed the stones, then pushed the connection into the post hole enough to get it to grab, then used my fingers, with latex gloves on, and twisted them on. The smallest was so tiny I just couldn't get a grip on it. I couldn't even get it to grab into the post with the tweezers. I eventually gave up and got someone to help me. Basically just laid still while they could use both hands at a better angle to get it twisted on. It seriously would have been much easier to have gone to a professional and have it done but I'm a "I can do this myself!" type of person.Quality-wise these are not super great but they're not terrible. I have very sensitive skin and ears and the slightest thing can make me itch. These haven't bothered me at all. As long as the stones stay in place and nothing falls apart I'll be very pleased with this purchase. I'm giving them 4 stars because the difficulty in getting them in is my issue and really no fault of the earrings themselves. I just wanted to share my full experience here for those that may be in the same situation.
