Our 18K gold huggies are a favorite for kids and grown-ups alike: lightweight, comfortable and easy to wear every day. But when shopping for hoops or huggies, especially for children, one of the most common questions we hear is: “Will the earring be too tight?” or “What if they grow and it doesn’t fit anymore?” Let’s clear that up.
Do Huggie Earrings Still Fit as Kids Grow?
As children grow, their earlobes grow too, but far less than the rest of their face and body, and the thickness of the lobe changes only a little. That means a well-fitting huggie usually keeps fitting for years. It may simply look smaller as their face matures. If an earring ever feels snug, a quick check with us will tell you whether it is time for the next size.
Huggies Are Made to Hug, Not Pinch
Our 18K gold huggies are designed for comfort and everyday wear. They are:
- Lightweight and hypoallergenic, gentle on sensitive skin.
- Shaped to hug the earlobe comfortably, with a secure hinged closure.
- Available in sizes that work beautifully from toddlers to teens and beyond.
Why Huggies Are Perfect for Everyday Wear
No dangling parts and no pulling: just sleek, secure and stylish. Huggies stay put during school, sports, family trips and celebrations, and look great with everything from a party dress to a school uniform.
Style Tips for Choosing the Right Huggies
Add a little movement with a charm. Huggies with a small dangling charm are playful yet lightweight, and they stay securely in place.
Go for two-tone gold. Can’t decide between white and yellow gold? Two-tone huggies are easy to mix and match with any other jewelry.
Match the child’s personality. Some kids love classic, dainty styles; others love color and symbols like stars, hearts, butterflies or lightning bolts. Let their personality shine, and just make sure the earring closes securely.
Enamel Huggies: Save Them for Special Occasions
We love enameled pieces, but sunscreen, chlorine and salt water can cause enamel to fade or chip over time, so they are not ideal for the beach or the pool. Save them for special occasions, and if you want color for active days, try our turquoise or gemstone huggies.
Still Unsure About Sizing?
We are here to help. Reach out and we will guide you based on age, style and fit. If you are between two sizes, choose the classic snug fit, because it is not about growing out of them, it is about growing with them. Browse all our hoop and huggie earrings for kids and baby and kids earrings.
