FAQ
Huggies vs. hoops—what’s the difference?
Huggies sit close to the lobe with a hinge; hoops have larger diameters and more presence.
Which earrings are best for daily wear?
Studs and huggies in sterling or two-tone are lightweight, secure, and easy to style.
Are two-tone earrings hard to match?
No—two-tone bridges silver and gold, making mixed-metal stacks look intentional.
Can earring backs be replaced?
Yes—push backs and some omega components can be swapped or tightened by a jeweler.
