⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Maya Patel - Bridal Stylist, Los Angeles
"I wore the Pro Model Lotus Fun Factory Octopus Earrings to my best friend’s wedding, and honestly, they stole the show. The AAAA freshwater pearl catches the light so beautifully, and the 18k gold plating held up perfectly—even after a full 12-hour event. The octopus tentacles are delicate but secure, and zero tarnishing after 5 months of occasional wear. These are now my go-to luxury studs for formal events."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 5 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Lin - Gift Shop Owner, Seattle
"I bought the Advanced Model as a birthday gift for my sister, and she hasn’t taken them off since. The textured tentacles give such a unique depth, and the 9mm AAA pearl feels more luxurious than expected for the price. She has sensitive ears, but no irritation at all—thank you for being nickel-free! I’ve already ordered two more pairs for client gift boxes."Purchase Date: November 2024 | Usage Period: 7 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Chloe Bennett - Graphic Designer, Austin
"I chose the Base Model in rose gold plating for a more subtle look, and I love how versatile they are. I wear them with jeans and a tee or dress them up with a blazer—either way, they add that little whimsical flair. The tentacles are lightweight, so no ear fatigue. Only reason I didn’t give 5 stars? I wish the packaging included a small polishing kit, though the included microfiber cloth helps."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 6 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Elena Rodriguez - Art Curator, Miami
"As someone who collects ocean-inspired jewelry, these Pro Model earrings are a masterpiece. The engraved tentacles and 5μm 18k gold plating make them feel like heirloom pieces. I wore them to a black-tie gala last month, and multiple guests asked if they were vintage. The AAAA pearl has a soft, ethereal glow—far superior to the treated pearls in other brands. Worth every penny for collectors who value design integrity."Purchase Date: April 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sophie Tran - Teacher, Portland
"I ordered a custom pair with a pink freshwater pearl for my engagement photos, and they were perfect. The team was so responsive to my request, and the color matched my bouquet exactly. The earrings felt secure all day, and the gold plating hasn’t dulled despite being worn during outdoor shoots. They’ll definitely be part of my wedding look. A truly meaningful, personalized piece."Purchase Date: March 2025 | Usage Period: 2 months
