How To Adjust Huggie or Hoop Earrings That Won't Close

Over time, you might notice that your huggie earrings stop clicking shut as securely as they used to. Don't worry - it's completely normal.

Our huggies are dainty and made of sterling silver, which is naturally soft and can bend ever so slightly with wear. 

When we’re putting them on over time, the curved post (the small part that clicks into place) can gently shift out of alignment. The good news? It’s an easy fix you can do at home in less than a minute.

How to Tighten Your Huggie Earrings

• Open the earring and locate the curved post - this is the piece that snaps into the hinge
• Using your fingertip, gently lift the curved post upwards - just a tiny bit.
• Test the click. If it still feels loose, lift a little more until you hear that satisfying snap.

If It Feels Too Tight

• You might have pulled it too far. Gently press the post down slightly to loosen it again.

And that’s it! Your huggies should now click securely and sit comfortably again, good as new.

Why This Happens

Because sterling silver is a softer metal, everyday wear, storage, and handling can slowly loosen the hinge mechanism. A small adjustment realigns the post so it fits snugly again.

Extra Care Tips

To keep your huggie earrings secure and long-lasting:

• Always handle the hinge area gently

• Avoid sleeping or showering in your earrings

• Store them separately in our jewellery pouch or box when not in use
