Hundreds of people fondly remembered the trend from the 1990s and commented on the circular nature of fashion.

‘Everything from the ’90s is really coming back as an original idea,’ said one woman.

‘I am so glad that I’m finally old enough to afford and buy all the things I wanted as a little girl,’ said another.

‘I begged my parents for this and they never relented … and now thirty years later I can finally do it!’

But many warned that the tool was not a toy and could be hazardous for children.

‘Mums – beware,’ wrote one mum. ‘Do you let your kids play with this, a gem got stuck in my little one’s ear and I had to rush him to the emergency room because it wouldn’t come out.’

‘They’re definitely dangerous,’ added another. ‘My sister used to chew on her hair as a child and she nearly choked on some of the gems.’
