I love this piece because it adds a nice touch to my multi-pierced ear. This piece has a small diamond which I like and wanted. It is a bit hard to handle (I have carpel tunnel) but since I will wear it pretty much continually, it is all good. I am likely to buy another one of these. I wouldn't mind a smaller "U" for other types of piercings or ones that are closer to the edge of my ear. On me the diamond wants to slip around so that the stones face down but that isn't a deal breaker for me.
