What Is a Huggie Earring?
A huggie is a small hoop that closes around the earlobe and hugs it, with no gap showing. It is the hoop you can sleep in, wear through a workout and forget about, and a natural choice for a second piercing. A traditional hoop is larger and hangs free of the lobe; the inside-out hoop sets diamonds on the inner face as well as the outer, so it sparkles whether you see it head-on or from the side.
Hoop and Huggie Styles
The petite diamond huggie hoop earrings ($995) set 0.25 carats of round lab-grown diamonds along a compact 14k gold hoop. The petite diamond huggie chain hoop earrings ($1,495) add a draped chain to a 0.58 carat huggie. The inside-out diamond hoop earrings ($1,795) carry 0.63 carats on both the inner and outer faces. The chunky gold huggie earrings ($2,395) are plain 14k gold with a fuller, rounded profile.
Diamond Hoops or Gold Hoops
Diamond huggies are the everyday sparkle that shows from across a table; the plain chunky gold huggies carry the look on proportion alone and sit easily beside diamond studs. Both come in 14k yellow or white gold, and matching the metal to your studs or necklace is the simplest way to make a layered ear look planned.
Lab-Grown Diamonds in 14k Gold
The diamonds are lab grown, with the same sparkle and hardness as mined diamonds, and the gold is solid 14k. Every pair ships free within the US with 30-day returns and a lifetime manufacturing warranty.
