I received these as a gift and I was delighted. They are exactly as pictured-the stamping is nice and defined and the post is long enough to be comfortably secure without stabbing me in the neck. My only quibble is the infant-size post backs. They are so tiny that they are difficult to hold and handle. I wish Amazon's jewelry sellers would stop messing about with what works. Knock off trying to save .O002 cents per gross and provide proper adult sized post backs or at least INDICATE the size in the description.
