Most "classic" jewelry is measured in decades; hoop earrings are measured in civilizations, with physical examples recovered from ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome that any jeweler today would recognize on sight.
The Perfect Gift
Putting on a hinged piece of jewelry is easy, and can happen in one motion: open, place on wrist, snap closed.
Made With Purpose
The huggie earring is not merely a small hoop. It is defined by its mechanism: the hinged post swings open for insertion and snaps closed to form an unbroken ring, which is the construction that gives the form its name.
