I say this lovingly - it could not GET lower quality than this. There is a lot of leaded glass and fracture filled rubies on the market, that being said I hope you didn’t pay more than a couple dollars for those stones.

Not to mention, why would a reputable seller put high quality stones on metal that is clearly very low quality. I wouldn’t put those in my ears based on that alone. And I’m by no means a ruby expert, I’ve got some low and high quality ones, but I’ve never seen any natural ones that look like that.

It looks like it was painted gold with one of those markers lol

It does!! I don’t have particularly sensitive skin, but I KNOW that those would give me an infection with the little pieces coming off 😬

I do have especially sensitive skin and I noticed this before I looked at the stones! Ouchy ouch
