14g 5 MATCHING PAIR
I'm really happy BAF has this. It's definitely worth it, especially for multiple ear piercings. They're pretty sturdy on the whole, but one of the balls wasn't very dimpled. Only four of the balls actually matched, as well, but it works for me.

14g Assorted singles
I think it's fun to get the various bulk packs BAF offers, but this one disappointed me. 3 of the rings were exactly the same, so it was really like getting 8 assorted singles. What was worse for me is that 4 rings were only 1/4" diameter, which is too small for me to use. I was mostly hoping to get an assortment of beads that can't otherwise be ordered, like I've gotten in other kinds of bulk packs, but half of these were hematite. I ordered this because I'm pretty open to whatever I'd get, but this assortment was, well, not very much assorted.

These are great emergency pieces! The quality of the steel and acrylic ones was variable, but the titanium ones (which I was lucky enough to get 5 of) were amazing! Fantastic selection!

I'm very unhappy with this purchase. The balls are poorly dimpled and also too small for the rings. I tried closing the rings down to size with a pair of pliers, but the balls still wouldn't stay in place due to the shoddy dimpling.

I'm really glad I got these. The assortment is cool. I got two pairs with neon dice, one pink and one yellow, then i got 3 round glitter pairs, orange, clear, and purple. I'm definitely going to buy these again.

These are a great way to add a little color in your jewelry. The acrylic balls are a lot easier to put in and take out with your bare hands than metal balls.

These are so cute, although the circumference is a little big for what I'm using them for and I had to tighten/loosen some of the barbells, I really like the balls that came with mine. The colors and patterns are really pretty and cute. Best part is that I used the 2 week shipping and got them in about 4 days!! Totally worth every penny!

Great product for a great price. The polish isn't quite sparkling, but with it being such a deal I don't mind. The balls pop in and out wonderfully, and I love them. Great assortment of colors, too!

these bulk packs are such a great deal. they are good quality for the price, and the beads are easy to put in

These came in with my first order & I was really excited to get them in. So many different colors to choose from and they never came lose. I was surprised that they were pretty easy to put in & you save a lot too!

Gauge purchased: 14g. Great quality for such a good deal. Got the assorted singles and always had fun changing up the balls (which stayed perfectly secure!)

I wasn't expecting much from these after reading some reviews, but i was pleasantly surprised. The balls stay on just fine, and never have come loose for me. The diameter is a bit big, but I'm glad they are because they look cute through silicone earskins.

i was very unhappy with these. the balls wouldnt go on the hoop. i tried it while the ring was in my lip, while the ring and ball were both in my hands. i got my friends to help me. none of us could get it. ill be trying some more captives but definitely not these.

I have bought the 5 matching pairs set twice. They are good quality, and the price is right. The beads are plastic, but the threads are well cut and sturdy. None of the balls have broken. Both times I got a good assortment of pretty beads. My first set had 2 sets of dice rings, which I wasn't expecting. I thought there would only be balls, as show in the picture. They were nice, but I don't like dice jewelry (I'll give them away). Both times I bought sets, there was one "pair" where the beads were a close but not exact match. To me this didn't matter, as I just wear them in the piercings where it doesn't matter if they match. These are such a good deal, even if you get a pair or two you don't like, you're still coming out ahead. I would definitely recommend.

Gauge purchased: 14g. This was my first purchase from BAF. I was so excited when I got it. I got a bunch of different styles (dice, beads, etc.) The quality was very good and for the price you can't beat it!

I ordered the 5 matching pair. Wonderful! To give you some more ideas of what kind of things you might get: I got 2 black and white marble like in the product photo, 2 glow-in-the-dark blue, 2 UV glitter yellow, 2 orange dice, and 2 pink dice. All of the rings were at a decent tension and fit their beads. All of the beads were nicely dimpled and free of defects. The polish on the rings was fine; not mirror, but there weren't any marks or scratches. A great buy!

An amazing deal. Fast delivery. Great product and great price.

Great deal, great colors. Overall great product. A few rings were a bit too large for their beads but that was easily fixed.

This was such a great deal, I bought a bulk of them...I used them for all of my ear piercings...they look great, the colors are awesome, and the beads are pretty easy to put it by yourself.

i bought these for my earlobes. the colors i got were nice basic colors and the beads fit very nicely into the rings.

These are good, but I wouldn't reccomend them unless you're going to wear them in your ear, eyebrow, or you have a completely huge lip. It's worth it, but the hoop is just absolutely too big if you want them for your lip.
