The price to try out different style of earrings. What I dont like as of my first wear is the post to clamp leans away from the other. The earring placed on the left ear was snugged because of the post and clamp. I had another issue because the less pricy the earring I used alcohol antiseptic like when going to get a vacination or shot when a nurse or doctor wipe the area with. The post bleeds whichn I wasnt expecting. Today for the first time these are on my ear. I rate due to both issues, the style is what shown in ad. The price not pricy but the post to clamp is a problem to lift on ut when it these 2 pieces are behind the ear. Ive rated the score that I did, between 2-3 there is no middle ground In this case the score rate up oppose to down. I did notify the seller they were honest, and I suggested the paint needed upgrade not bleed because of a small antiseptic alcohol wipe. The post I would have needed to email about ut as I hadnt worn these since anstiseptic wipe used. I did wipe post to be sure no blue navy blue color was on the towel prior to placing in my ear. In my case didnt know quality or durability of less costly earrings. Trial and error with respect to color will need to try other sellers for colored earrings. Of course may due to price if not elsewhere buy other and or other colors, still antiseptic wipe the post allow to dry, and wait a day or so Wipe with clean white cloth to make sure color dont bleed onto my ear. I doubt it will. However, I should watch for and do it as described here I also know that things have to stop bleeding eventually and in this case the post after all the bleeding stops, the condition of the posts. This jumping to less pricy earrings which I rarely will wear in the near future, and was my way of trying various styles, already mentioned
