What are huggie earrings?
Huggie earrings are a small and stylish hoop earring design that fits snuggly against the ear, as if embracing it in a ‘hug’. We love how versatile huggie hoop earrings are, styling your ears from the lobe, helix and all the way up to your upper ear. Super lightweight and comfortable huggie earrings can be left in day or night and come available in silver and gold with an array of stones, making these earrings the perfect jewellery box essential.

Can I sleep in huggie hoop earrings?
Absolutely! Scream Pretty huggie hoops are safe and comfortable to wear at all times, even while sleeping. Many of our customers find them more comfortable than standard earrings because of their snug fit and smaller size.
When can I start wearing huggie hoop earrings?
You can start wearing huggie earrings once your piercings have fully healed, this will typically take between 6-8 weeks for earlobes and longer for cartilage piercings. We recommend following your piercer’s aftercare instructions and ensure your piercings are completely healed before switching to huggies. If you aren’t sure whether you’re healed, it’s always worth consulting your piercer.
What is the difference between a hoop earring
and a huggie earring?
The main difference between a hoop earring and a huggie is their size and fit. Hoop earrings are typically larger and hang slightly below the ear, creating space between the ear and the earring. Huggies, on the other hand, are smaller and fit closely around the earlobe, with little to no gap between the earring and your ear.
Which piercings can I put huggie hoops in?
Huggie earrings can be worn in various piercings, thanks to their small size and snug fit. As they’re very versatile they can be worn in standard lobe piercings, second and upper lobe piercings, tragus and helix. You should always make sure that the size and diameter of the huggie suit the specific piercing.
