I'm a firm believer in the fact of if it is censored in one country for being a possible hate symbol, why would I wear that version? I do not know what metal the actual earring that came with it as at the time I did not have my ears pierced but its very easy to change the earring part to whatever you need. I highly encourage anyone that is wanting to wear Tanjiro's earrings to get this version of the circle and lines. If you do not know why it may be insensitive to wear the "sunrise"/US version, use google and look it up. (the image on the earring is on both sides and does have a acrylic front, but not protecting the back. I don't find this to be an issue though as all other Tanjiro earrings I have had also only had acrylic protection on one side. I am also only wearing these earrings while in cosplay, so not very often.)I love these earrings. They are exactly what I wanted. They are fashionable and I get complements every time I wear them. They were durable but my first pair did break and I had to get a replacement pair but the merchandiser sent me the pair overnight and it was wonderful. They are so light weight and the colors are vibrant. Just be careful with them because they may break if you sleep with them, shower with them or exercise while wearing them.Amazing!I gave these to my sister as a gift, since she loves anime, and she loves them! She told me they were a gr8 conversation starter when she worn them to the first day of school, and she especially made honest friends when they recognized which anime the earrings were from.Sometimes people can put their honest self out there by doing the littlest things, and I’m proud of my sister for doing so.I highly recommend this product for anyone looking to positively express themselves or support other’s interests.everyone's asking where i got my earrings from! they all love it ... I love it! it's lightweight and I like that the design is on both sides so when it turns or I turn, you can still see the design!honestly I was scared bc a lot of other sellers had bad reviews, but this one was the best and I’m so happy that the comments were true. they are lightweight, surprisingly looks really well with regular outfits, and definitely a subtle sign of being an anime fan. ☺️ will definitely come back if I need this gift again.Purchased as a gift for 15 year old Grandaughter who is really into Anime. She wears them all the time, loves them. I think they are a bit long for her, but she loves them as they are. She gets taller everyday so won't always be too long!My daughter gets compliments everywhere she goes when she wears them. Very nice.
