Strand Huggie

A huggie that lets one strand hang loose. The Strand Huggie is a slim hinged hoop of solid 14k gold — 7mm inside, a 1.5mm band — with a single fine cable chain looped from one side to the other, so it drapes 6mm below the hoop and moves every time you turn your head.

It's sized for the upper ear: snug in a helix or forward helix, easy in a healed second or third lobe. The hoop holds still; the chain doesn't. That's the whole trick — a plain gold huggie from the front, a little swing from the side.

Solid 14k gold, 0.28g, with a hinged closure that snaps shut and stays shut. Sold as a single, so you build the ear one strand at a time. Let it swing.

NOTE: At a 7mm inner diameter this is built for the upper ear — helix, forward helix, or a healed second or third lobe. It'll usually sit too snug for a first/main lobe.
