Question 1

What is a huggie earring?

Accepted Answer

A huggie is a small hinged hoop that sits snug against the earlobe and "hugs" it — the smallest hoop, usually set with a line of diamonds along the front. It clicks shut on a hinge, so it stays closed and is easy to put on.

Question 2

What is the difference between a huggie and a hoop?

Accepted Answer

A huggie is a mini hoop that hugs the ear closely; a regular hoop is larger and hangs away from the lobe. Huggies suit every day and stacking; larger hoops make more of a statement. See our diamond hoop earrings for the bigger sizes.

Question 3

Can you wear huggies every day, or sleep in them?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the snug, hinged design is made for daily wear, and many people leave them in. Lab grown diamonds are just as hard as mined, so they take everyday wear.

Question 4

Are huggies good for a second or third piercing?

Accepted Answer

Yes — their small size suits a stacked look up the ear, so you can wear a few together. Mix sizes for a curated ear.

Question 5

What sizes do huggies come in?

Accepted Answer

Huggies are measured by their inner diameter — a smaller diameter sits tighter to the lobe, a slightly larger one clears it. Pick the fit you like.

Question 6

How much are diamond huggie earrings?

Accepted Answer

The price depends most on the carat weight and the metal. A lab grown pair costs a fraction of the same mined-diamond pair. Prices change daily, so we show today's live prices below instead of a fixed figure.

Question 7

Which metal can I choose?

Accepted Answer

Every pair comes in 14K or 18K gold — yellow, white or rose — or in platinum. Solid gold suits sensitive ears. White gold and platinum keep the diamonds bright; yellow and rose gold give a warmer look.
