... have a stud earring that would not stick out like a sore thumb [SEP] i wanted to have a stud earring that would not stick out like a sore thumb..  also wanted to keep my second hole in my ear open so these fit the bill... i like that you can hear the back click.. so you know that they are on..  not a fan of the clear.. they did cloud up on me... but overall i am happy with my purchase.
