My Custom, Dual-Sided Diamond Huggies!
When I was designing my two most recent earring charms, I was also having a pair of huggies made! I ended up going custom for two reasons: it can be difficult to find retailers that disclose the quality of their smaller diamonds (like the type I have in my huggies), and it was a challenge to find offset-diamond huggies that had a smaller diameter that would suit my first lobe (which is lower on my lobe than standard, since I had these done when I was very little).
To save a little money, I ended up doing dual-sided huggies, so that I could simply reverse them for a different look. One side has small, round diamonds in prong settings, while the other side has off-set, baguette diamonds for a more geometric, eye-catching look. The huggies and settings are all 14K yellow gold, which coordinates with the threadless ends I have in my other piercings.
They were designed by Lauryn Volvar at Earth’s Treasury, who also picked all of the diamonds individually. The latter helps to ensure that you get exactly what you’re hoping for in the end. I know this because I have a pair of diamond pave huggies that just have very little sparkle for what they are, so I wanted to go to a source I could trust for quality!
I love wearing the huggies alone or with any earring charms I have, and I pretty much have had them in my first lobes since they were finished! They’re super comfortable, easy to reverse, and are timeless. I can’t wait to update my ear stacks in February for another update with these styled.
