The design

A huggie is a hoop small enough to hug the earlobe, so it sits close and stays put. The hinged closure snaps shut without a separate back to lose, which is why huggies are often the pair people sleep in and forget they are wearing. More in our guide to mixing and layering metals.

A gemologist’s note

Our gemologist likes small diamond huggies as an everyday pair: the stones face forward where they catch light, and at 8 mm they work in a first or second piercing.

Care

Soak in warm water with mild soap and brush gently around the diamonds. Open and close the hinge gently, and store the pair closed.
