Huggie Earrings

Check out our FAQs for more info about huggie earrings at the Camile & Stone range in New Zealand!

What are huggie earrings?

Huggies are a popular kind of small earring that hugs the earlobe for a comfy fit. They're the smallest type of hoops and sit near the ear with not much room between the hoop and earlobe. While hoops come in a variety of sizes, huggies are much smaller and generally thicker than hoop earrings. 

They come in a range of styles, designs and metals such as sterling silver, gold and rose gold. You can wear them on the helix, forward helix and the tragus, but make sure they fit snugly against the skin and feel secure. Enhance their sparkle further by purchasing a pair adorned with gemstones like emeralds, sapphires and rubies.

Do huggies need a piercing?

Yes, most huggie earrings require a piercing because they have a rod that is inserted through a piercing, just like standard hoop earrings, usually with an infinity or hinge-type fastening. If you're looking for ear jewellery that doesn't require a piercing, ear cuffs are a fantastic alternative.

Can you leave huggie earrings in all the time for everyday wear?

Yes, you can wear huggies for everyday wear - they're one of the most comfortable earring types available. They are small and dainty, designed to be worn for long periods of time. They're also minimalist and versatile, complementing any outfit or look and are safe to sleep in because they don't get caught in hair, clothes or bedding. 

If you plan to wear them every day, ensure you keep them in good condition by regularly cleaning them with a soft lint cloth and gentle dish soap, then patting them dry with a clean cloth. Always store your jewellery safely in a jewellery pouch when not in use to prevent it from getting scratched or dirty.

What is the difference between hoops and huggies?

Huggies are smaller than hoop earrings and fit snugly against the earlobe. Hoop earrings are generally larger and circle around the whole ear. Hoops are often less comfortable for everyday use which is why huggies are becoming more popular, especially among people who appreciate being able to wear their jewellery all the time.

Why are huggie earrings so popular?

Huggie earrings are all the rage right now because of their ability to combine comfort with style. They're great for small and sensitive ears because they are lightweight and won't cause irritation. They come in a variety of styles and designs - whether you prefer a classy, simple sterling silver pair or a more intricate solid gold design. 

The Camile & Stone collection offers high-quality sets in a range of metals - each piece is meticulously crafted to last a long time. Our jewellery is also tarnish-free and hypoallergenic, so your huggies won't fade or tarnish over time and will retain their brilliant shine for many years to come.
