Freshwater Pearl Drop Huggie Earrings

Small gold huggie hoops for men, each with one white freshwater pearl hanging from the base. The hoop itself is chunky and short, roughly 1.3 cm across, with a smooth rounded profile and a clicker closure that sits tight against the lobe. The pearl is natural, around 9 mm, and it swings just below the hoop rather than sitting flush against the ear.

MATERIAL NOTES

Stainless steel with a warm 18K gold plated finish. Stainless steel is the reason this pair holds up better than most plated jewellery. It does not rust or go green, and the hoop is water friendly, so it survives rain, sweat and everyday wear without drama. The pearl is the softer half of the pair and is the part worth protecting.

WHY MEN WEAR IT

The pearl earring has moved back into menswear as a quiet counterweight to hard metal and heavy chain. Kept this small it reads as considered rather than loud. It works with a wool coat and a raised collar in winter, a plain tee in spring, and a linen shirt in the heat, which makes it one of the few pieces you can leave in year round without thinking about it.

A GOOD GIFT FOR

Husbands, boyfriends, sons, brothers and friends who like understated jewellery. Birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, groomsmen, Christmas, Father's Day, or a first hoop that will still look right in five years.

CARE

Pearls are softer than metal and do not like chemicals. Put them on last and take them off first. Keep them away from perfume, aftershave, sunscreen and chlorine, rinse and dry the hoops gently after heavy sweat or salt water, wipe with a soft dry cloth, and store somewhere dry and out of direct sun.

Because freshwater pearls are natural, each pearl varies slightly in shape, surface and lustre. Measurements are approximate. Lighting and screen settings may slightly affect how the pearl and gold tone appear.
