Why we love diamond huggie earrings

These types of earrings are the ultimate in everyday luxury – their petite proportions means you can coat them in precious stones, without a huge price tag. A diamond-set huggie is the last word in effortless elegance. It has enough dazzle to be noticed but won’t dominate in a stack. Here's how to style them.

At AC we firmly believe that there is no right or wrong way to wear anything; we’re big fans of you doing you. However, if you’re after some pointers, of course we’re happy to help. The most simple, but still effective, way to wear diamond-set huggies is as a pair. Their dainty dimensions make them ideal for everyday – they make an impact but won’t cause earlobe agony. In the mood for switching things up a gear, add them into a stack. Depending on how many piercings you have you could play with proportion, sandwiching a single diamond-set huggie in between a plain gold one above and a larger classic style below. A very punk Parisian way to wear them is all in the same size and stacked up your ear – a very strong look if your ear has multiple piercings. You could also place them in places such as the tragus or daith. In fact, there’s really nowhere you can’t wear a diamond-set huggie. Florence Pugh appears to have one through her septum and very chic it looks too.
