These acrylic rose plugs are quite beautiful, a charming deep red color and are rather details from the petals of the flower. I have worn these plugs out only a few times and have received many compliments because of them but as beautiful as they are they do have a few flaws.For acrylic plugs they are quite heavy on the ears and I assume if worn for long period of time they will weight down your ears and even help stretch them, so perhaps that might be a pro for some but since they are a bit heavy on the lobes the earing does tilt out of my lobes and the roses tend to point down, I managed to fix this problem just with some o-rings behind on the other side of my ear.Second 'flaw' or just something I really did not like about them was that they were very long! I have very thick lobes and sometimes it is hard for me to find plugs where my lobes will sit comfortably and wont slip off of but these are very, very long and poke up from behind my ear which isn't something I think majority of people would like, at least I do not. I have a slightly overgrown pixie cut so it's rather noticeable but if you have long hair or at least long enough that it covers your ears more so then no one will notice that bit.Besides those two points these plugs are beautiful, stylish and worth the money. I like to wear them mainly to special occasions like a family members wedding or interviews as they're more attractive than just a simple black plug.I love these plugs.I bought them to hide the fact that I had stretched ears for job interviews. I bought these as a 00gg and originally received a 0gg, they were small enough to fit in my tunnels.When I sent them back they came in this really cute polka dotted box, no mess ups.I was reluctant of buying these at first because they are cheap, and a lot of people were complaining about them not being able to put them in their ear because they were too big. And because even if they were able to fit in their ears the were too heavy on the front and hung down, I will admit they are a little difficult to put in and take out, but its not a job that is impossible, and has hardly any pain at all. kind of just like you are scraping your nail on your ear lobe.They do not hang down at all, it seems like the way the back flares out it evens it out weight wise.I am guessing that the people who did buy these and have these problems (and this is just a guess) but they recently just stretched their ears, their ears are probably not use to a lot of different things in it, etc. which made it hard to put in.They also probably was still putting lubricant in their ears for it to hang down, but I'm not sure, just what I am guessing.I have had my ears for about a year now, keeping basically only one pair of tunnels that whole year, so my ears didn't have a lot of things going in and out, and they were squishy silicone, but I still had no problems with these plugs, and I don't even need a o ring to keep them in place.I also got the job c:Update to the update lol i contacted the seller about the mismatched pair i got and they were very fast to fix it, next day they mailed me out another pair, making certain there both the same size! AWESOMEE CUSTOMER SERVICE! So happy about it im actually gonna go buy abother pair right now lol. Happy customers are gonna stay shopping customer! Haha.UPDATE- i also got a black pair now, same size, but now these are much smaller than the red ones i got before, AND these black ones are also two different sizes from each other...*First purchase*, red ones- I got these bc my current size is 5/8 and I wanted to find some low profile plugs, because I can't afford to have my ears fixed back to before I stretch them. These were PERFECT bc I was able to actually buy them several sizes smaller than my gauge is and since the rose is actually larger than the size of the gauge, it covers the hole in my ear completely, and since it's smaller (I got the 7/16 since people said they were slightly large ) it is much less conspicuous! Just kinda looks like retro clip ons, it's boosted my confidence alot!! I got the red, it's nice darkish deep red! Beautiful! Oh also these didn't come with o rings, but they are necessary so it'd be a good idea to make sure u have some or purchase them!I have one ear that can stretch to a 0 and one that is only a 2, so I wear 2 gauges. I got these in the one that stretches more without issue but I couldn't get it onto the one that is only a 2 gauge. So I took the flare off the back of one and the tunnel is not even and I can wear them. I like them a lot. The only real con I have with these is I have a really hard time talking on the phone at work with these on. They click against the phone and it's really irritating. I have not issue using my cell though. Otherwise they are great! (I just used my eyeliner pencil sharpener to take the flare off, worked fine.)These gauges are gorgeous and add a little class to those special events! They are a bit on the heavy side, but o-rings solved that dilemma. My issues are that they did not fit properly as they are tapered and were larger on the ends. It means I must endure the pains of gauging every time I want to put them in. Additionally, I cannot just leave them in because they are too bulky to sleep on. Other than that they are great! I will be buying in more colors than ivory.Shipping was super fast. Took 2 days to get to me. I didn't have a problem putting one it but had to shave down one to put it in my other ear and pretty much size up my other ear, but I do believe that's just my ear being stupid not the product. They are a bit long but don't seem to be heavy on my ears or fall out and sleeping with them is just fine.I've had these gauges for months now and i cant tell you have many compliments i get daily about how beautiful these are. I absolutely love these gauges i have another pair in red. The only downside is they are heavy so you would need O-Rings to hold them up otherwise they will fall out and crack (from experience) but other than that these are beautiful. I have them in right now i wear them everyday and I will definitely be buying more in the future.One earring came with a decent size chip in it.
