Product Description
316L is the highest quality of Surgical Stainless Steel in the jewelry market and that is exactly what all of our jewelry is made from. It won't change color, leave staines on your body, and it does not require any maintenance to keep it looking brand new. In fact, it is so good at resisting fade, rust and corrosion, that this grade of steel is often used in marine environments and since it is nickel free it is also used in surgical procedures.

Buyer beware?? Nice customer service, but... January 18, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
When I ordered my earrings, I had to ignore the image showing the different birthstones because although I know little about gemstones, I do know that "rose quartz" is probably not emerald green, nor have I ever seen a variety of sapphire that is wine red, nor a ruby that is forest green. I was also worried because the "product details" section says "4mm" while the title says "3mm." My doubts aside, since I have a new piercing I was interested in the stainless steel posts, not the quality of the gemstones, and took a chance with this company.
I'm glad I did not have high expectations. Two pairs of earrings were boxed in a 4"x4"x6" or so box, which seemed like overkill. While it's possible they were running low after the holiday season, I'm afraid that the excessive shipping costs will be reflected in their product prices. When I received my "amethyst" earrings, one of the gems was a dark purple and the other a light lilac. Even a few inches apart, there was no mistaking that these colors completely did not match. In addition to the mismatched stones, extra slivers of steel were stuck to the posts two of the four earrings I bought. I noticed one and removed it successfully with tweezers, but only noticed the other sliver after I woke up with a very painful and irritated ear.
When I contacted the company about the mismatched earrings, I had already cut down the posts to fit my ear (I wish I'd checked them against each other, but I'd never expected they wouldn't even match). They were very kind and replaced the entire earring anyway, which most companies won't do (as they cannot be resold - which is possibly why they accepted them in the first place). The new earrings I received DID have matching stones and did /not/ have excess metal stuck to the post. I was very impressed with their customer service, but the lack of any quality control the first time made me write this review to caution other buyers. I hope the company will be more careful in the future.
edit: After wearing my replaced earrings for 5 days, I lost one of the stones in the bath. Better hope you like those stainless steel posts, I guess.
