Leeward Opal Huggie Earrings
Description
The Leeward Opal Huggie Earrings | A Tiny Flash of Light
Named for the sheltered side of a ship, the Leeward Opal Huggies are designed to be a quiet, glowing addition to your everyday stack. Made by hand in high-quality 14K Gold Vermeil, these reverse open huggies feature the soft, multi-dimensional fire of natural opal.
The design is intentional and understated—the reverse open silhouette allows the opal to sit flush against the lobe for a look that feels seamless and personal. Whether worn alone for a minimalist moment or tucked into a second piercing, they offer a subtle flash of color that catches the light with every movement.
-
The Details: Natural opal set in a modern reverse open huggie silhouette.
-
The Size: Approximately 3/8-inch diameter—designed to hug the lobe perfectly.
-
The Metal: High-quality 14K Gold Vermeil.
-
The Vibe: Minimalist, radiant, and effortless.
Why we love it: We love how much character is packed into such a small piece. The Leeward Huggies don't demand attention, but the way the opal reflects light is a beautiful "hidden secret" for those who get close enough to see. They are a comfortable, polished staple that works as well in a curated ear as they do on their own.
