I have six pair of gold huggie earrings. It's the only type of earring I like wearing... For me,these earrings are a small hoop earring, but not a huggie which are suppose to be up close to the ear lobe (smaller)!  I am debating whether to send them back or not, because of this.  Otherwise if someone wants a small thicker hoop earrings, get them! If you want a huggie earring, don't bother!
