Huggy earrings get their name because of the way they “hug” your ear lobe fitting snugly and comfortably against the ear which means they can be left in when you sleep. The post in huggy earrings goes through the ear and is then clicked in place, making it completely secure.
Huggy earrings are popular with both men and women with celebrities including Helen Mirren and David Beckham wearing them.
Most huggy earrings have a hinge half way around the hoop which can be split making them easy to put on.
You can choose yellow gold huggy earrings or white gold which blends in with the diamonds for a more subtle look.
Striking the right balance between casual and special jewellery can sometimes be difficult with those large sparkling diamond chandelier earrings looking a bit over the top for a trip to the shops or drink to the local pub. There are certain pieces of versatile jewellery which can be suited to almost any occasion and huggy hoops fall into this category.
There are two types of diamond huggy earrings: partial where the earring extends to the midpoint of the ear, or full which encloses the whole earlobe. The full is usually the most expensive requiring more gold and diamonds in the design.
