Down the front of each huggie runs a narrow groove: a strip of darkened, glittery-textured silver beside a thin line of gold, with one round stone in a bezel next to it. The look is modern and a little graphic, good for someone who mostly wears silver.
Specifications
- Total weight: ~3.5 g (pair)
- Base: hallmarked 925 sterling silver (3.4 g), sealed with a protective nano coating
- Gold: real 14K (585°) gold, 0.1 g, heat-bonded plate, not flash plating
- Stones: 2 cubic zirconia, hand-set
- Hinged clasp that clicks shut, comfortable for all-day wear
- Hypoallergenic, nickel-free
- Backed by a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects
Why it's special
The gold line is real 14K gold heat-fused onto 925 sterling silver, so it keeps its warm color much longer than flash plating. Both cubic zirconia stones are lab-made, bright and clear, and set by hand.
Care
Treat it like fine gold. Avoid perfume, lotion, and chlorinated water, wipe with a soft microfiber cloth after wear, and store in the jewelry box it ships in to protect the bonded gold surface.
14K gold bonded to sterling silver
Real 14K gold heat-fused to a hallmarked 925 silver core, 10–20× thicker than the micron-thin gold wash used on costume jewelry.
Real gold
A real 14-karat gold layer, weighed and recorded for every piece. Not a gold-coloured coating.
Thicker
Heat-fused under high pressure to a sterling silver core, so it won't flake or peel.
Daily wear
Lasts years through showers, workouts, and everyday life. Hypoallergenic silver underneath.
Why it outlasts costume jewelry
Gold-washed brass fades and marks the skin. Gold bonded to 925 silver keeps its colour, and the metal underneath is still silver.

Earring size & fit
How stone sizes look on the ear, which closures we use, and how to wear earrings comfortably all day.
Stone size on the ear
| Stone | Diameter | How it reads |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 Ct | ≈ 5.2 mm | Subtle everyday sparkle |
| 1.0 Ct | ≈ 6.5 mm | Noticeable, the classic stud size |
| 2.0 Ct | ≈ 8.2 mm | Statement, catches light across the room |
For hoops and huggies: 10–14 mm hugs the earlobe, 15–25 mm is a classic hoop, 30 mm+ is a statement. The diameter is listed on each product page.
Closure types
- Friction push back: the classic stud closure: slides on, holds firmly, easy on and off.
- Screw back: twists onto a threaded post; the most secure option, great for sleeping in or for valuable stones.
- Hinged huggie latch: clicks shut around the lobe; no separate back to lose.
- Lever / English back. For drop earrings, the lever locks behind the lobe and keeps the earring hanging straight.
Comfort & care
- Hypoallergenic by default. All our posts are 925 sterling silver, rhodium-plated and nickel-free, safe for sensitive ears.
- Weight matters. Under ~2 g per earring feels weightless all day; heavier drops are best for occasions.
- Keep the sparkle. Take earrings off before showering and sleeping, wipe with a soft cloth after wear.
