"Gorgeous, one of my faves so far."
Beautiful!
"Beautiful little stud. It doesn't catch my hair or anything and sits nicely in my ear"
Good quality but fiddly to change
"Nice quality but super fiddly to change! The hummingbird has a tiny bar on the back to slot into the labret bar and is difficult to put in (due to internally threading)"
