I do not have gauged ears and they fit me fine. The posts are slightly larger than a normal earring post. These earrings always get attention when I am wearing them... and therefore I am a die-hard supporter and customer.

I bought some recently and I was actually really disappointed with them. They are really cute in the box, but will not fit unless your ears are gauge (even the ones that don't say the peg is larger than normal, which I thought to be akin to false advertising) My friend bought a pair also, and hers would not fit either. and you CANNOT return them!
