They hug close to the lobe with real presence for their size. Available in rhodium-plated sterling silver or 10K gold vermeil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Metal Truth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: 925 Sterling Silver\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Rhodium-plated (silver) or 10K gold vermeil (gold)\u003cbr\u003eBest for: Everyday wear, ear stacks, second piercings, an easy gift\u003cbr\u003eWear note: About 2.83 grams. The hollow construction keeps a chunky, sculpted shape light on the ear, and the 8 mm inner diameter sits close to the lobe.\u003cbr\u003eCare: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wearing, and work it gently into the ridges where lotion and residue can settle. Put them on after perfume, lotion, and hairspray. Take them off before swimming, showering, or cleaning. Because they're hollow, they can dent if crushed, so store them in a pouch where they won't be pressed or bent. Skip silver dips and abrasive polishing cloths, which wear plating and vermeil faster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Rhodium\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRhodium is a precious metal in the platinum family. Fine jewelers use it to give white gold and sterling silver their bright, white finish, so it's a standard step in quality jewelry, not a shortcut. Underneath is real 925 sterling silver, never base metal. With regular wear, the plating can soften over time, and any jeweler can refresh it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Gold Vermeil\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGold vermeil (pronounced ver-MAY) is a thick layer of real gold over a base of 925 sterling silver. To be called vermeil, the gold must be at least 10K and at least 2.5 microns thick, which is far heavier than standard gold plating. This piece is 10K gold vermeil, at least 2.5 microns thick. Because the base is sterling silver rather than brass or copper, you're wearing precious metal all the way through. With years of regular wear, vermeil can soften in high-contact spots, and any jeweler can restore it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy We Chose It\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA plain huggie is easy to overlook. This one earns its place with texture: rows of rounded diagonal ridges that give it the look of a much heavier piece and keep light moving across the surface. Small enough for every day, sculpted enough to be the piece people ask about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyling Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWear them alone in your first piercing for a bold, close-to-the-ear look.
