Huggie Earrings

What makes an earring a huggie?

A huggie is a small hoop that sits close to the ear rather than hanging in a wide circle. The fit depends on both its inner diameter and the distance from your piercing to the edge of your ear. The same hoop can sit differently on two people.

Which huggie details change the look?

Choose a plain hoop for a simple outline, a CZ-set face for sparkle, or a hanging charm for a longer silhouette. Compare these details alongside the measurements. Some huggie listings offer size combinations such as 5+6mm or 7+8+9mm; check both the included sizes and the total number of hoops. For example, Tiny Cartilage Huggie offers 5mm to 10mm inner diameters with a 20G (0.8mm) post; Gold Tapered Huggie offers 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 12mm inner diameters. If only an outside measurement is given, confirm the inner opening before choosing a close fit.

How do you build a stack with huggie earrings?

Place the hoop where its opening clears your existing healed piercing, then balance it with a smaller stud earring or flat back stud. A graduated look uses different visible sizes, but each piercing still needs its own fit check. Gold options are 18K gold plated over 925 sterling silver; silver options are rhodium plated. Compare the actual variant price and the single, pair or set label before adding to your cart. Across Marafine’s catalog, emerald-green, turquoise-colored and diamond-look accents use cubic zirconia; the White Opal flat back studs use synthetic opal. Check the selected product for its stone material.

How does a huggie close?

On a hinged huggie, the hoop opens at a hinge and clicks closed. Other fastenings are identified on the individual design, so compare the construction you prefer.

Can one huggie size fit every piercing?

No. Check the inner diameter, post thickness and placement information for the specific hoop.
