Super super cute! The color looks nice even against a paler background, if you catch my drift. I don't use the bars that came with these so I can't speak on those. I'm giving these 4 stars because the pearl coating started to flake off near the hole around 4 months after I started wearing them. I had my piercer switch me to these to downsize so I was still early in the healing process. Maybe the extra cleaning sped up the flaking, but it's something to be mindful of. Sadly I had to retire them.
