The colors are so vibrant and pretty. Have been using for a month now the colour has not faded or oxidised yet. Have not tried it in water or shower so can't exactly promise whether it would still be the same after. The small pieces are excessively small and would maybe look good on the extra earlobe piercings . Some pieces are repetitive in 3 sizes which is like a setback otherwise the varieties of earrings in the set is worth it. The plugs are also tight and reliable.
