These are mirror polished 316L surgical steel in 3mm, 4mm or 5mm, with no stone to lose and nothing to snag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMirror polished sphere.\u003c\/strong\u003e Reflects the room like a tiny chrome bead.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo setting to snag.\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth all round, so hair and scarves slide past.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3mm to 5mm.\u003c\/strong\u003e From a dot to a confident bead, all under 1\/4 inch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrooved post, metal clutch.\u003c\/strong\u003e The clutch locks into a groove cut near the end.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBall Studs as a Base Layer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBall stud earrings are the base layer of an ear stack. A row of 3mm, 4mm and 5mm balls stepping up the lobe looks clean on its own, and \u003cstrong\u003ea single ball in an upper hole calms down a busy stack of stones\u003c\/strong\u003e. Because a sphere has no front or back, it looks the same however the post turns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePolished Steel up Close\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e316L surgical steel takes a mirror polish and holds it, the reason watchmakers like it for cases. A sphere reflects light from every direction at once, so \u003cstrong\u003ethe ball picks up the color of what you wear\u003c\/strong\u003e, warmer with a camel coat and cooler with black. Fingerprints dull it fastest, and a quick wipe on a soft cloth brings the shine back. Each earring comes with a metal clutch that seats in the groove on its 22 gauge post. It is sold as a pair, so one order covers both ears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChoosing 3mm, 4mm or 5mm\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe size is the diameter of the ball. 3mm is about 1\/8 inch, 4mm a little over 5\/32 inch and 5mm just over 3\/16 inch, which sounds tiny until you see it catch the light. \u003cstrong\u003eSmall balls melt into a busy stack, while the 5mm holds its own beside a crystal or a hoop.\u003c\/strong\u003e For a single earring worn alone, the bigger ball reads more intentional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSteel Ball Stud Sizing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich ball size is the classic look?\u003c\/strong\u003e 4mm is the middle of the road; 3mm is barely there and 5mm reads as a deliberate bead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre they unisex?\u003c\/strong\u003e Completely.
