All huggies are hinged. The form is defined by the hinged post that swings open for insertion and snaps closed into a continuous ring sitting close to the earlobe.
Elemental Detail
Fine jewelry earring posts are produced in matching precious metals throughout: yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, sterling silver, and platinum, with platinum and high-karat gold specifications favored for sensitive piercings.
Visually Speaking
A smaller hoop sits closer to the lobe with minimal swing; a larger diameter shifts the center of gravity outward, and the piece moves perceptibly with the head and shoulders as the wearer moves.
