Sunday is the backbone — six styles, gold and silver, at 8mm, 10mm and 12mm. Pick the size by what you want it to do: 8mm reads as a second-piercing hoop and disappears under hair, 12mm starts to look like a hoop rather than a huggie.

Nylah runs the same three sizes in gold. Madeline is a pair, gold and silver, and the second best seller on the page.

Willa Heart Gold is the best seller here by a wide margin — a heart charm on a small hoop.

Melinda Flower Hoop comes in blue, light pink and white. These three sit on a post rather than a hinge, which makes them a different object from the huggies around them — worth knowing before you buy if you were expecting a clicker.

Alongside them: Amara, Edith Blue, Marigold, Charlotte, Colette, Hunter, Lock and Key, and Holly Mini Ivory Pearl, the one acetate hoop on the page.

• Post: 316L surgical-grade stainless steel, on all twenty-three. That is the part inside your piercing.
• Material: twenty of the twenty-three state 316L for the piece as a whole.
• Waterproof: nineteen of the twenty-three are rated for shower, pool, ocean and sweat.
• Safety standard: nineteen are made to ASTM F2923-20.
• Price: $14 to $39; thirteen of the twenty-three are $36.

The four that fall outside those counts are the three Melinda Flower Hoops and the acetate Holly Mini. They are the post-back and acetate styles rather than the steel huggies, so check the specs on those individually rather than reading the page-level number as covering them.

That is the honest version. Most of this page is waterproof steel; a few pieces are not, and they are named above.

The full huggie range in both finishes is huggie hoop earrings, and everything hoop-shaped including the big acetate ones is hoops and huggies.

By stone: CZ hoops and huggies, pearl hoops and huggies. By finish: gold huggie earrings.

For the rest of the summer range: coastal flat back studs at forty-seven styles, coastal necklaces, and coastal statement earrings. Everything built to be left on is hypoallergenic waterproof jewelry.

Nineteen of the twenty-three carry a waterproof rating for shower, pool, ocean and sweat. The four that do not are the three Melinda Flower Hoops and the acetate Holly Mini. The rating is on each product page — check the style rather than the page.

8mm sits tight to the lobe and is the one for a second or third piercing. 10mm is the middle and the safest first buy. 12mm reads as a hoop rather than a huggie and is more visible with hair up. Sunday is stocked in all three, so you can compare the same shape across sizes.

The post is 316L surgical-grade stainless steel on all twenty-three, and the post is the only part inside your piercing. Nickel in a base-metal post is the usual cause of a reaction.

The huggies, yes — they hinge shut against the lobe with nothing protruding. The three Melinda Flower Hoops sit on a post with a separate back, so they are less comfortable to sleep in and easier to lose.

Nineteen are made to ASTM F2923-20, the US children's jewelry standard. A hinged hoop generally suits an ear that has fully healed; for a newly pierced child, flat back screw back studs are what to start with.
