Huggies sit close to the lobe. Hoops give a little more shape. Between them they cover most of what a woman reaches for on an ordinary morning — small enough to leave in, interesting enough to notice. Ours are made in 925 sterling silver with gold-plated finishes, and every pair arrives in our pink gift box.
Huggie or Hoop — What's the Difference
A huggie is a small hinged hoop that closes tight around the lobe, so it barely moves. A hoop is larger and hangs below the ear, giving movement and a fuller shape.
In practice, huggies are what most people wear day to day and leave in. Hoops are the pair reached for when an outfit needs a little more. Many of the styles here sit between the two — half hoops and charm huggies that hold close to the ear but still catch the light.
The Styles in This Collection
Charm huggies carry a small hanging detail — a heart, a star and moon, a pearl drop — and read as the most everyday option. Chain link and twisted styles keep the shape simple with texture instead of stones.
Chunky hoops and half hoops are the statement end of the range, with wider bands and pave detailing. Stone-set styles bring in jade, quartz and cubic zirconia for colour. Finishes run across 925 sterling silver and gold-plated.
Built to Layer
Huggies are the easiest earring to stack. A small pair in the first piercing and a second in the lobe above reads as considered rather than crowded, and because huggies sit tight there is nothing to tangle.
Mixing finishes works too. A silver huggie next to a gold-plated one is a deliberate look rather than a mistake, which makes it easy to add to a collection she already owns.
Comfort and Sensitive Ears
Hinged huggies have no separate back to lose and sit flush against the lobe, which is why they suit long days and travel. Larger hoops carry a little more weight, so if someone finds heavier earrings uncomfortable, a huggie or half hoop is the safer choice.
The range is made in 925 sterling silver, which is hypoallergenic and well tolerated by most sensitive ears.
Looking After Them
Keep hoops away from perfume, hairspray and lotion, and take them out before swimming or hard exercise where you can. Open and close hinged huggies gently rather than forcing them — the hinge is the part that wears first.
Store each pair in the pink box or a soft pouch so they do not scratch against other pieces. Every pair is covered by our six-month guarantee, and our jewellery care page has the full detail.
