The earring was shipped quickly. It's s good quality and craftsmanship and it's just darling. I think I will order a shorter post next time. It tends to hang forward a bit when it's in my ear. I would recommend a person try to measure the depth of their ear to match the length of the post. I like the ball back and it has grooves to help grip when screwing it on. The price is a good value for 14k.
