The design

A 10mm hoop sits close to the lobe, which is why this size is often called a huggie. The hinge snaps closed, so there is no separate back to lose. More in our guide to mixing and layering metals.

A gemologist’s note

Small hoops are the earrings people forget they are wearing, which is exactly what makes them worth owning. At 1.65mm the tube is substantial enough to hold its shape for years of daily wear.

Care

Polish with a soft jewelry cloth. Open and close the hinge gently and remove before swimming in chlorinated water.
