Studs, Hoops, or Huggies: What’s the Real Difference
Studs sit flat against the earlobe with a single stone and work with any outfit, which is why they’re the most commonly bought first piece of diamond jewelry. Hoops are circular and hang slightly away from the ear, giving more visible movement and shine. Huggies are a smaller, closer-fitting version of a hoop that “hugs” the earlobe, popular for people who want the hoop look without the extra weight or movement of a full-size hoop.
| Style | Best for | Typical wear |
| Studs | Everyday wear, work, formal events | All-day comfort, minimal movement |
| Hoops | Statement looks, evenings out | More visible shine and movement |
| Huggies | Everyday wear with a bit of shape | Lightweight, close to the ear |
Natural or Lab Grown Diamonds
The same choice that applies to rings applies here. Lab grown diamonds carry the same hardness, brilliance, and GIA or IGI grading as natural stones, at a lower price point for the same carat and clarity. Our lab grown earring styles come from the Ethos Creations collection. For the full comparison between the two, see our Lab Grown vs. Natural Diamonds guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of earrings does Maaz Jewelers carry?
We carry diamond studs, hoops, huggies, linear drop earrings, and a dedicated men’s earring collection, all in stock at our San Mateo store.
What is the difference between huggie and hoop earrings?
Hoops are circular and hang slightly away from the ear for more visible movement. Huggies are a smaller, closer-fitting style that sits directly against the earlobe.
Are lab grown diamond earrings real diamonds?
Yes. Lab grown diamonds are graded by GIA and IGI on the same 4Cs scale as mined diamonds and are made of the same material, not a diamond simulant.
What carat weight should I get for diamond studs?
Most everyday stud earrings range from 0.25 to 1 carat total weight per pair. Larger sizes work well for special occasions, while smaller sizes hold up better for daily wear since they sit lower against the ear.
Are the earrings on this page available in-store?
Yes. Every style shown here is in stock at our San Mateo store and available to try on in person.
