I bought a pair of these in size 3mm diamonds and 6.5mm post to be my everyday lobe earrings, and they are much more comfortable and easier to clean than my old butterfly backs. The 3mm is perfect if you just want a classic look, and I was pleasantly surprised at how colorless and sparkly the diamonds are! I also love that they lie pretty flush to my lobe and don't stick out or droop like some basket settings. The only thing I'm nervous about is the threaded posts - I hope they stay secure, but once in a while I try to tighten them because I'm paranoid. My other ones are threadless flat backs that are tough to pull apart.
