Nobody would have guessed that small hoop earrings would become more popular than oversized hoops, but there you have it. The jewelry world is obsessed with huggie hoops as well as ear cuffs and we couldn’t agree more. So if you are not convinced yet, keep on reading. Discover how to style different types of earrings and get the hang of small hoops and ear cuffs.

What are small hoop earrings & ear cuffs

Also called huggies or huggie hoops, small hoop earrings are tiny hoops that look as if they are embracing your ear lobe. This is where the term “huggies” comes from. They can be gold, silver or even stainless steel. It all depends on your metal of choice. They can also be simple tiny hoops, twisted or with gemstones and a particular design. The size of small hoop earrings doesn’t prevent jewelry designer from being creative.

Ear cuffs, on the other hand, are earrings that you can wear on your ear cartilage. They can reach the ear lobe, but, most of the time, they provide that special layered look and stay on the cartilage. Just like small hoop earrings, they can be gold or silver and they can have a simple design or feature gemstones. A great thing about ear cuffs is that some designs don’t require piercings. You just attach them to the cartilage and they stay in place. So, for those of you who want to get a contemporary double-stack look but are not too keen on the idea of getting your ears pierced, ear cuffs are the perfect solution.
