Let’s first just cover the two most obvious kind of earrings, studs and hoops. Both classic and timeless earrings for pierced ears.

Studs are a great way to start your stack if you’re going for an elegant understated look. They’re also a great way of adding cute accompaniments to a larger, more statement earring.

The same can be said for hoop earrings. Medium to large hoops can become the centre of your stack, whereas smaller simple hoops or charm hoops can be stacked alongside each other for a subtle yet edgy look.

What is a huggie earring?

Huggies are a style of little hoop earrings that ‘hug’ the earlobe. This means they sit close to your earlobe! They tend to be thicker than the standard hoop and have a lever back meaning the curved back of the earring simply clicks into place. Astrid & Miyu’s huggies come in a wide range of designs. Whether they’re simply silver, gold or rose gold plated huggies, or more intricately designed with stones, jewels, or dainty dangle charms, these earrings look beautiful worn alone, or as a part of your stack.

What piercings can I use a huggie for?

Because of the huggie’s small diameter, they tend to be used for lobe piercings, however can be used for other piercings such as the helix (cartilage at the top of the ear), forward helix (top, front of the ear) and the tragus (in front of the ear canal). Stack and style your huggies the way you want!

What is a barbell earring?

Barbell earrings are composed of a straight bar which goes through the piercing, and a ball or bead at either end which screws the earring into place.

This is one of the most traditional jewellery designs for body-piercings. Our barbell earring range is designed for healed piercings and is suitable for nearly all ear piercings. Available in Silver, Gold and Rose Gold and in a wide variety of designs, stack them up to your heart’s content.

What are ear cuffs?

An ear cuff is a small thick ring that can be slipped onto the side of the ear and stays on by pressing tightly on the ear. Ear cuffs do not require a piercing and this is one of the many reasons they are so popular. All our ear cuffs are designed to fit onto either your left or right ear, so you are free to decide and change it up as you go.

How do you wear ear cuffs?

1. Pull either side of the ear cuff to make the opening slightly wider.

2. Then, pull the thinnest part of your upper ear taught and slide the ear cuff over your cartilage.

3. Slide down and rotate towards your inner ear and place in your desired spot, squeezing the ear cuff slightly to make sure its tight, yet comfortable.

Stacking your ear is all about experimenting. Playing with different platings, colors, textures and sizes. Whether you have no piercings or ten, the stacking choices are endless. Start by choosing one earring to be the focal point of the ear, whether its a statement earring, ear cuff or a jewelled helix stud - this will be what people are drawn to immediately, and then build around that. Don’t be afraid of asymmetry, try a hoop on one side and a stud in the other or mix and match Silver and Gold. There are no rules in this game.
