Description

Star huggie hoop earrings carrying the same engraved sunburst we use across the Nova pieces: a five pointed star with an open centre, fine rays running out from it, hanging from a smooth 925 sterling silver huggie that snaps closed at the ear.

Here is the part worth knowing before anything else. The star hangs on its own, which means you can lift it off and wear the huggie plain. Two earrings for the price of one, essentially, and it makes the decision each morning much easier: star on for the days you want a bit of movement at the jaw, star off for a clean hoop under a work call or a helmet or a jumper.

At eleven millimetres the hoop sits close and neat, the sweet spot where a huggie is small enough for a second or third piercing and still substantial enough to hold its own in the lobe. The star drops just below, so it swings a little when you turn your head, catching light across those engraved rays. Honestly, it is the kind of earring that does the work without asking anything of you.

Both colours have their own mood. The gold runs warm and sun struck, lovely against summer skin and a white linen shirt. The silver reads cooler and crisper, and the fine engraving shows up sharply against it. Underneath, both are solid 925 sterling silver, including the posts and hinges that sit against your ear, which is the bit that genuinely matters if your ears are the sensitive kind.

The gold version wears a genuine 18k plating over that silver, so a small routine keeps it glowing. Slip them off before showers, pools and the sea, let perfume and sunscreen settle before they go on, and give them a soft wipe at the end of the day. The silver version simply mellows in tone with wear, and a polishing cloth brings it straight back.

Stars are what people wish on, steer by, and call each other when they mean it. Wearing a pair at your ears keeps that close, small and constant and entirely yours, whether you are heading into a graduation, a birthday, a first day at something new, or just a Tuesday that could use a bit of shine. They arrive gift boxed, ready to give, with a spare version of themselves hidden inside.
