Beautiful, high quality plugs UPDATE
Beautiful, high quality plugs! Some of the other reviews stated that the saddles were too shallow for these plugs, but that was not the case for me. I love having such a wide variety of natural stone plugs! What an excellent deal!Update July 2018: I repurchased these plugs because I had lost some of them from my previous purchase. I was very disappointed to see that they changed the cut/design of the plugs. Not only are the plugs 1-2mm longer, but they are also tapered wider. As such, I could not fit them into my ear. I purchased a set of 2g plugs to see if they might work given the size increase, but they were obviously way too small.I have posted photos of the comparisons. On the left, you will see the original 0g plug that I had purchased with the new 0g cut and the 2g to the right of it accordingly.Needless to say, I need to return these and try a competitor. These plugs are still beautiful. The new cut just doesn’t work for me, unfortunately.

Small gauge users may need to pass on this one.
2g wearers, beware.These are gorgeous, I will give them that. Sadly, they are not wearable for me and my lobes are a well healed and fairly stretchy 2g. The wearable area is a 2g, but the flares measured about 2-2.4 mm. Unless your lobes are stretchy enough to accommodate 0g jewelry, these probably aren't going to work for you.

I just got them in the mail and I have to say that I am pretty impressed - they're absolutely gorgeous
First, let me say that I have not worn these yet, but I will be sure to update once I've had them a while and have taken them for a few test drives.HOWEVER, I just got them in the mail and I have to say that I am pretty impressed - they're absolutely gorgeous. With the exception of one flawed pair (that, IMO, is ugly anyway, lucky me), they all seem to be pretty uniform in size and shape with maybe ever so slight variance. I do not think I will have any issue fitting these in my ears, as they've been at a 0g for some time now, but the test will of course be how well they stay. (NOTE: I read a ton of reviews that complained about the size, but I think they had the wrong size or were stretching, which I would strongly advise against. Do not stretch your ears with saddle plugs - they are flared (hence the name) and there's significantly more risk of hurting yourself or screwing up your ears. Common sense, folks.) As far as the actual stones go, I am also really pleased. For natural stone (even if they're not authentic...?), I think they all match up rather well and have a decent weight to them (but not too heavy). If you are picky about your gauges matching, I would recommend buying your stone in person because there WILL be variance and you have no say in what gets delivered in this pack. I might have just gotten super lucky or I'm just not very picky. I am really looking forward to wearing them!I took pictures of them because there didn't seem to be a lot available, but I am very obviously not an expert, so bear with me on that (yeah, that's my sweater, probz some dog hair, the wind blew crap at me, and I used my super outdated phone, sooooo...), but I hope they're at least a little helpful. I think they look better in person, especially the sparkly ones which are TOTALLY WICKED. Even the "tiger eye" (again, NO clue if they're real), which I thought had the most potential to be a funky cut, are pretty BA. Close up of the flawed one included (and sorry if you like that stone, just not my style, so I'm not too broken up about it). I can update with pics of how they fit my ear eventually, too.UPDATE (after months of wear): I've had zero issues with these and think they stay in pretty well. Maybe had one fall out while sleeping a few times, but I almost always am wearing a pair from this set and have yet to lose one. Still happy with my purchase!

Great quality but difficult to insert.
Nice product and definitely look like most, not all, of them are real stone. Not cheap or abrasive in any way. I’m very familiar with natural stones in general and they all look genuine.I got the smaller size since I’m not into the really larger gauges.Only drawback at all is that the ends are flared out significantly larger than the center. And the center is significantly smaller than the intended gauge. Getting them in is a painful struggle, and I would highly recommend oil or lotion! I even wore a stretcher for a week before trying to put them on.Once they’re in I forgot they were there. Not too heavy and didn’t fall out or anything. My lobes did want to shrink after having to get them in by force, and after a few days they were still a bit snug, so I went back to my old tunnels.Getting them out was a bit easier, but after wearing them a day or so the lobes shrink down a bit to the size of the center gauge. So again, oil or lotion is necessary. Easier than getting them in for sure though.The flared end is an easy fix for a handy person - I’m going to adjust them all - bring one end down a mm or two w a diamond bit and then re-polish the entire thing.This way I have a clear front and back and I can get them in and out easier. I may also carve a thin inner groove for a silicone flange on the back end as well.Anyone with smaller gauges may consider doing the same, or at least know ahead of time that it’s hard to get them on when you have a smaller gauge & a less stretchy opening than if you had a larger size.

SIZE IS EVERYTHING!!
The colours and quality is amazing, they’re so beautiful I was honestly amazed to receive these. When I took them out though I very quickly got disappointed as I knew straight away these would be too small.Bummer because I purchased the 16mm and they don’t do bigger than this.If you’re looking at this you know that sizing is super important and now I have 10 pairs I don’t know what to do with. I’m not even sure if I can send these back for a refund.Looked at refunding these but it will cost me more than half the cost to return them... Soooo I'll just be chucking them in a drawer.
