The Briar Huggies

A huggie with a faceted front and a lot of light in it.

The diamond-textured face catches the light as you move, giving a simple hoop a little extra sparkle. It sits close to the ear and works with almost any stack.

Quality and materials

Sterling silver at .925 is the standard for fine silver jewelry: 92.5 percent silver, alloyed for durability. Nothing is plated on top here, so there is no plating to wear through. It is finished with an anti-tarnish coating, and wearing it often helps too: gentle friction against your skin keeps sterling polished. Store it dry, ideally airtight.

How to style it

The faceted front catches light, so wear these on their own or with one tiny stud above. They are an easy everyday pair.
