Huggy earrings are called after the way this style of earring “hugs” the ear lobe.
As you see here, huggies are small hoop earrings that fit very snugly on to the ear lobe. Many people feel very uncomfortable wearing earrings for a length of time, especially when sleeping in them. Huggies are so comfortable that you hardly remember you are wearing them!
Diamond huggy earrings are worn by many UK footballers (you may have seen David Beckham wearing one) and other athletes as they create an attractive sparkle and are so comfortable. That is why they are such a popular choice of diamond jewellery for young children and even babies as parents are not worried about posts from the earrings digging in to the skin. As you can see in the picture, the post that goes through the ear, safely and securely clicks in to place within the earring itself so that there are not sharp bits on the earring at all.
In keeping with the comfortable style, the diamonds in a huggy earring are usually channel set (set in to a channel of 2 rows of gold) as opposed to the usual claw setting. With the channel setting, the diamond set hoop is quite smooth, so there's nothing to catch on! The earring usually has a hinge at the bottom so that it can split in half allowing a comfortable way of putting the earring on.
