Sundial Huggies

The plain one. A small polished hoop that sits close against the lobe, nothing set into it, nothing to catch. This is the earring you put in when you are not thinking about earrings, and the one that goes with everything precisely because it is not competing with anything.

Eleven and a half millimeters across, built on 925 sterling silver and plated in either 18K gold or rhodium, so you can match whatever you already wear. It closes with a hinge, so the bar swings open and snaps shut. Sold as a pair.

Small enough for a second piercing, plain enough to keep in.

Can you sleep in huggie earrings?

Most people can, and plenty do. A huggie sits flat against the lobe with no post sticking out the back and nothing dangling, so there is very little to press into a pillow or catch on a sheet. A hinged closure helps too, since there is no butterfly back to work loose overnight. The exception is a piercing that is still healing, which should be treated on your piercer's advice rather than ours.

Sundial or Sundust, which huggie should I get?

Same shape and nearly the same size, different finish. The Sundial is polished and plain. The Sundust Pavé Huggies are set all the way around with 5A cubic zirconia, which makes them the pair that catches light across a room. Buy the Sundial if you want an everyday hoop that disappears, the Sundust if you want the earring to be seen. They stack well together if you have a second piercing.
