Buying guide

Why huggies work every day

Huggie earrings are small, sturdy hoops that hug the lobe instead of hanging below it. Because they sit close, they rarely catch on hair, scarves or collars, and they stack well with studs in a second or third piercing. Many people leave a pair of solid gold huggies in from morning to night. A row of lab-grown diamonds across the front adds sparkle without adding size.

Pave, bezel or drop

  • Pave huggies line the front with small lab-grown diamonds for a continuous sparkle.
  • Bezel huggies wrap the stones in gold for a smooth edge that is comfortable for daily wear.
  • Drop huggies hang a pear or round lab-grown diamond from the hoop, a little dressier while staying close to the ear.

Choosing the gold

14k gold huggie earrings are the usual choice: 58.3% gold and hard enough to hold their shape through daily wear. 18K gold huggie earrings are 75% gold, with a richer color, and softer; 10K is the hardest and lowest-priced. Yellow gold is the classic look, white gold is plated with rhodium for a bright finish, and rose gold adds a warm pink tone. Most pairs are between about $750 and $800 at their smallest option. Many designs offer about 0.4 carats total weight, and a few go up to 10 carats total weight.

Gold Lab-Grown Diamond Huggie Earrings FAQs

Are there any gold huggie earrings that don't tarnish?

Yes. Solid gold huggies in 14K or 18K don't tarnish the way silver or plated jewelry does, because gold itself doesn't react with air. 10K gold has more alloy metals and can darken slightly over many years, which a polish removes. White gold's rhodium plating can wear thin and show a warm tone, which replating restores. Our gold lab-grown diamond huggie earrings come in white, yellow and rose gold.
