Meet my expectations, works great for my second lobe piercing

Very cute little earrings! Glad I purchased. Seem like they will stay in my ear well / not fall out easily.

The gold doesn’t look very gold, it’s kind of silvery, and not the same next to my other gold jewelry. One earring has a really tight clasp that is very hard to remove. The other almost falls off. They are a great shape though. My photo shows it next to another gold earring I have

Although I really really love the look of these earrings, I didn’t even get a months wear out of them before they turned silver. Other than that, they’re beautiful, sturdy and very comfortable to wear.

I’ve ordered these before and liked them. I wore them all the time, but ended up losing one. I ordered a new pair as a replacement, and one is a little bit loose in the clasp, and the other one wouldn’t unclasp. I tried multiple times to unclasp the stuck one and it finally broke with the force of trying to get it to open. I reached out prior to breaking it and never received a response.

Beautiful and so comfortable to wear

Very nice small earrings. Easy to put on and good clasp.

Beautiful jewelery from this shop

This is my 4th pair. Love them

Nice_ will definitely advise others to know about this site.

These earrings are beautifully made and perfect for multiple piercings.

I love them,. Such nice quality!

Love them. Haven’t worn them yet

Item meets expectations and is lovely

Good looking earrings right size

Beautiful earrings that are exactly as listed, and excellent quality. I am very happy.

Obsessed! I got the rose gold and wear them everyday. They brighten up my whole face. Thank you!

It is wonderfully made and looks exactly how I wanted. However, it is too small. That’s why I can’t recommend it.

Pense que serian poco.mas grandees, pero esta bien ;)

Very cute earrings as described and well packaged; thank you :-)

This was the most useless piece of crap. It was like a child's toy, cheap plastic, but the latch didn't even open, so even a child couldn't pretend to use it as an earring. Not only that, it took forever to ship and they only sent it to me when I complained - then it suddenly magically arrived within 24 hours.

turned silver after a short amount of time due to production error, but seller and i chatted and were able to come to a resolution.

Had a problem with my initial order and customer service came back to me immediately and sent me a new pair. Amazing, attentive service and a lovely product.

I have never given a poor review on Etsy. While I didn’t need customer service, instead, I needed emergency service! The posts on these earrings were like fishhooks. They damaged my ear and hurt on the way then I couldn’t remove them because they hooked my flash when I tried to pull the post out. I had to use my wire cutters to my ear. DON’T BUY THESE!!!

I am so upset! I have NEVER had this experience with earrings. The post was like a FISHHOOK!!! The post hurt going in and then I couldn’t get it out. it was hooking my flesh on the way out and after 20 minutes of trying Vaseline and patience, ultimately panic, I ended up having to use my wire cutters to cut the post and remove it from my ears!!!!!

Look exactly like the picture! They are super cute. Also more light weight so it doesn't pull your ear lobes down. The clasps feel really tight as well.

Beautiful earrings! Thank you!

These earrings are just what i was looking for: classy, small but still very visible (because they are thick). They look even better in person than in the pictures. I am impressed.

Lovely, elegant earrings! They're a little tight because my piercing is high on my earlobe, but I'll get used to the feel. I'm happy with my purchase & the price was def right.

I love these earrings! Wear them all the time ! And of course Gold goes with ever
ything so you don’t have to fuss with what you will pair them with! Very happy

Exceeds my expectation. Very nice quality and perfect for my ears.

ich würde sie am liebsten immer drin lassen, weil sie so harmonisch ans ohr passen.

As seen on you

Fair pricing: we sell direct from our own workshop, so you are not paying the middleman.

Questions, answered

Everything people ask before they buy this earring.

What are huggie earrings?

Small hoops that hug the earlobe — usually 8 to 14 millimetres across — with a hinge at the back that clicks shut, so there is no butterfly back to lose and no gap for a pillow to catch. They are the hoop you never take out: small enough to sleep in and sit under headphones, substantial enough to read as jewelry. Bigger hoops are an outfit; huggies are a habit.

How do I open and close hinged huggie hoops?

Hold the hoop by the sides, find the tiny notch at the back opposite the post, and swing the post away from the hoop — it hinges open like a door, about 45 degrees, without force. Thread the post through the piercing, then swing it back until you feel the click. Do not pull the two halves apart as if they were a key ring; the hinge is on one side only. If it feels stiff the first few times, that is the clasp being new, not wrong — it loosens to a clean click within a week.

Is this earring real gold?

Yes — it is 18K gold vermeil: a thick layer of real 18K gold bonded over solid 925 sterling silver. Vermeil is an FTC-defined standard, not a marketing word, and ours uses a gold layer at least five times thicker than standard plating. Under it is sterling silver, which is hypoallergenic and worth something on its own. You can also choose the Prestige Gold option (the same 18K gold over a brass core) if you want the look for less and wear it less often. Every vermeil piece is covered by our 2-year warranty.

Can I sleep in huggie hoops?

Yes. A huggie sits flat against the lobe with a closed hinge, so there is nothing to snag a pillow and nothing to fall out — most women who own one pair never take them off. The only caution is material: sleep in 18K gold vermeil, stainless steel or solid gold (all hypoallergenic, all on this page); the hoops that cause sore ears overnight are the cheap brass ones.

What size hoop earrings should I get?

8–12 mm is a huggie (tight to the lobe, for sleeping and daily wear); 15–25 mm is a small hoop (the everyday size that reads from across a table); 30–40 mm is a medium hoop (the outfit size, stops above the jaw); 50 mm and up is a statement. If you have never worn hoops, start at 15–20 mm. If you are buying for a second piercing, go one size smaller than the first. The millimetre measurement on every product page is the outside diameter.

Can I shower or sleep in my gold vermeil earring?

Sleep in it, yes. Shower in it, no. Water, sweat, perfume and hairspray are what age gold vermeil fastest, so the rule is simple: jewelry goes on last and comes off before the shower, the pool or the gym. Put it on after lotion and perfume have dried. When it is off, keep it in the pouch it came in — the pouch is anti-tarnish, not decoration. To clean it, a soft dry cloth; never jewelry dip or anything abrasive, which strips the gold. Treated this way, vermeil keeps its colour for years, which is exactly why we can put a 2-year warranty behind it.

Are these hoops hypoallergenic — why do some hoops hurt my ears?

Yes. The metal touching your piercing is sterling silver under the 18K gold vermeil, 316L surgical stainless steel, or solid 14K gold depending on the tier — the same metals piercing studios use, none containing nickel. Hoops that hurt, itch or turn the lobe red are almost always brass or nickel alloy under a thin plating; once the plating wears, the skin is touching the alloy. If your ears react to everything, choose vermeil (silver base) or solid gold.

Can I wear these hoops in a second piercing or cartilage?

Lobe piercings, yes, all of them. For a second or third lobe hole choose a huggie or a small hoop one size down from your first. For cartilage (helix), a hinged huggie in the smallest size works on a fully healed piercing — the hinge closes in a circle, which suits the curve of the ear — but the post is the standard lobe gauge, so do not use one in a fresh or tight cartilage piercing. Our flat-back studs are the safer choice there.

How fast does this earring ship?

Ready-to-ship pieces leave our Miami studio within 24 hours on business days, with free standard USPS shipping on every US order — typically 2 to 4 business days door to door. Expedited shipping is available at checkout for ready-to-ship items. You get a tracking number by email when it is on its way, and it arrives in our signature gift box with a suede pouch, so if it is a gift you are already done. We ship worldwide; international delivery runs 5 to 14 business days depending on the destination, and any customs duties are the buyer's.

Are these earrings good for sensitive ears?

Yes. The part that touches your piercing is sterling silver (under 18K gold vermeil), 316L surgical steel, or solid 14K gold depending on the tier you choose — all three are nickel-safe and the same metals piercing studios use for fresh piercings. The reaction most people blame on "gold earrings" is actually nickel or brass in cheap posts, and there is none in ours. If your ears are very reactive, choose the 18K gold vermeil or solid gold option and wipe the posts with a little rubbing alcohol before the first wear.
