Super cute earring! I did put a dab of jojoba oil on the post so it would slide more easily into my lobe which was used to a tiny 20g hoop. The star end is pretty easy to screw on. I have several earrings with round ball backs so I was familiar with the way they attach. My only complaint is the earring will not stay with the star against my lobe. It’s constantly hanging with both stars at the bottom. It could 100% be the way my piercing is placed- maybe it angles slightly downward in the front. I don’t have this issue with the Frankie Diamond u hoops though. Might try it in my second hole piercing instead of the 3rd and see if it’s better. Really cute, dainty looking earring and very well made!
