The band is short, the section is deep, and it opens like a clasp rather than threading through the piercing. Because it grips the lobe rather than swinging from it, a huggie can carry considerably more metal than a hoop of the same apparent size without ever feeling heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pair is sterling silver. The section is half-round Ñ flat on the inner face where it sits against the lobe, domed on the outer face. The flat back is what keeps a huggie sitting square instead of rolling forward. The band measures 4 mm, with an inside diameter of 9.10 mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA huggie sits where the lobe is thickest, so the fit is governed by the depth of the band as much as by the diameter. A deeper band needs a little more room behind the piercing; if you wear a huggie alongside other earrings, measure the gap you have before choosing the section.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e sterling silver (925)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Half-Round huggie\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBand width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInside diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.10 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProfile:\u003c\/strong\u003e half-round\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polished\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold as:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSterling silver is 925 parts per thousand fine silver, the balance copper. The copper is what makes it workable Ñ fine silver on its own is too soft to hold a form Ñ and it is also why sterling tarnishes: the copper reacts with sulphur in the air. Tarnish is a surface film, not corrosion. It polishes off with a silver cloth and the metal beneath is unchanged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare.\u003c\/strong\u003e Store silver in a closed box or a zip bag when it is not being worn Ñ tarnish is driven by air, not by wear, so the pieces you wear least are the ones that darken first.
