These are my third pair of Boma earrings, and they’re the second pair of studs. Once again I am thrilled with my purchase! I’ve had my ears pierced since I was 7, and have never experienced earrings that don’t irritate my ears even a tiny bit….until Boma! I have ZERO problems, zero irritation with Boma earrings, I honestly didn’t think that was possible. I’m so glad my BFF told me about this company. I will keep buying these earrings forever!
