I bought the rose gold and they are beautiful! They hold paper very well. I tested them all out and they look great!! Not industrial strength or thick but they do the job while looking attractive and will do what they were made to do. They have a good grip and stay when opening and closing the notebook or book. I clipped the larger ones on half of the journal pages in the book and the cover at the same time and it held which was almost 1/2 ” thick. Pretty impressive as it was on there very well. Definitely order more from this company if they have quality products like these.
