These amazon earrings are only $14 and have 2,000 reviews - TODAY

Don't be deceived by their small size — these gold-plated earrings pack a punch. They're more unique than a boring pair of studs but they're also subtle enough for everyday wear. The technical term to describe this style of earring is "huggies," as they fit close to the earlobe and are a bit thicker and sturdier than typical styles.

Since these earrings "hug" the ear, they click into place instead of relying on a backing that could potentially fall off (or get lost within the first few days of wear). Even though they lock into place, they don't pinch the skin or feel like they are weighing the ear down. In fact, they're so lightweight that the only time I remembered I was wearing them was when I looked in the mirror.

As I wear my face mask everywhere, finding the perfect pair of earrings has served as a confidence booster, as I now get compliments on these small hoops rather than my lipstick color. They add a little bit of glam to my outfit, even if I'm just going to the grocery store.

Not only are these earrings on-trend, but they are currently the bestselling style in their category and have garnered more than 2,800 verified five-star reviews from Amazon shoppers who praise them for their versatility and the "classy look" they offer.

"These hoops are so comfortable and lightweight! Great for everyday use," one verified reviewer wrote. "Dainty and classic-looking."

While they're elegant and certainly look more expensive than they actually are, these earrings also meet another requirement in our book — they are friendly for those with sensitive ears.

"These earrings are fabulous. They are small, and just wrap the lobe, but look really cool," wrote one verified reviewer. "I normally can't wear costume jewelry as I get so allergic to it. I have worn these earrings every day since they arrived and have not reacted to them at all, so can recommend them for sensitive ears too!"

As someone with sensitive skin and a nickel allergy, cute earrings are usually only cute for the first few hours before my ears start to hurt and turn colors. After wearing this hypoallergenic pair since they first arrived at my doorstep, I can confidently agree with all the positive reviews from people who found them safe for sensitive ears.

While the brand sells hundreds of styles of rings, earrings, necklaces and other pieces of minimalist jewelry, these "huggies" are currently the brand's top-rated accessory — and it's not hard to see why. These bestsellers now have the seal of approval from two members of the Shop TODAY team, and it wouldn't be surprising to see more pairs of these sleek mini hoops on future Zoom calls.

These 6 Pairs Of Earrings Look Chic Every Day & *Won't* Turn Your Ears Green - Bustle

Posted: 04 Mar 2020 12:00 AM PST

Anyone who has bought cheap-but-fun jewelry knows the heartbreak of having it turn your skin green after just a few hours (or days) of wear. Earrings, specifically, seem unusually vulnerable to this. When you're shopping for earrings that won't turn your ears green, you need to know a little chemistry.

Let me explain: The naturally occurring acids in your skin (or in your lotion or perfume) interact with the metals that you wear. This is why some jewelry turns skin green. Some of us have more or less of these acids than others, which is why earrings that don't trigger a reaction for certain people, might leave a stain on someone else. This greenish coloring is generally harmless and goes away on its own, although that doesn't mean it's not irritating to deal with.

Metals To Avoid

As far as what metal turns skin green, there are a few repeat offenders. Copper is a common additive that is responsible for those notorious green hues, but silver can also stain your skin dark green or black as a result of the same chemical reaction. Gold may turn your skin green depending on what metal alloy it's mixed with.

Metals To Wear

The metals that are least likely to turn your skin green include options like platinum and rhodium — both precious metals that do not tarnish (platinum never needs to be replated, though rhodium will after a few years). For the budget-minded, stainless steel and titanium are nice picks as well.

I hunted down a some of the best earrings on Amazon that won't turn your skin an unsightly hue, including some studs and hoops for everyday wear, plus some attainable investment pieces. None of them will turn your skin green, but all of them will make you shine.

A Pair Of Chic CZ Studs For Extra Sparkle

These high-wattage cubic zirconia studs are a piece you'll always be glad to have in your jewelry collection. Name-brand Swarovski cubic zirconia (CZ) is a quality budget alternative to diamonds that doesn't skimp on sparkle. The earrings' sterling silver posts are plated in platinum, which is an economical use of the precious metal in a way that reaps its never-tarnish, never-replate benefits. As far as the gold-plated options for these earrings are concerned, your mileage may vary depending on skin sensitivity. Your best bet if you want earrings that won't turn your skin green is to opt for the platinum-plated posts only.

An Easy-To-Wear Set Of Hoops (In Sizes For Body Piercings, Too)

If you're looking for the best everyday earrings, this low-profile infinity huggie hoop earring is a perfect choice. With a small diameter that won't bother you at the gym (and that's more comfy to sleep in than a stud), these stylish earrings are worth every bit of their affordable price point. Made of 316L surgical stainless steel, these earrings won't tarnish, but if you're allergic to nickel just be aware that this set does contain small amounts despite being considered a relatively hypoallergenic material. Shoppers reported that the hoops are easy to take on and off but still wear securely (and comfortably) over long periods of time. Several reviewers also called out the fact that these "perfect everyday hoops" didn't turn ears green over time, either.

A Set Of Plain Hoops To Dress Up Your Everyday

A set of hoops earrings in two different polishes and three distinct sizes has you covered for a ton of different looks based on the same classic concept. You can get a set of six in gold and silver shown here, but there are also sparkly CZ hoops and some filigree options in silver, yellow, and rose gold tones. These have a 316L stainless steel pin, while the rest of the earring is plated. This is important to note because the pin is what will come into your skin – in this case, from a material that is known for being tarnish-free. Several Amazon shoppers called them out for being lightweight and easy to wear, noting the sets were a great value for the money.

A Pair Of Formal Earrings That Are Dainty Enough For Daytime Too

These formal drop earrings with pearl and cubic zirconia are a delicate accent to dressy looks, and they fly under the radar at school or work thanks to their understated elegance. The posts are made of rhodium-plated brass, which is a less expensive way for jewelers to create the premium look of platinum. (Remember: Rhodium will need to be replated in a few years, so when the plating does wear away, your skin could eventually take umbrage with the brass underneath). That said, the dainty AAAAA cubic zirconia is a high-quality stone that easily catches the light, and the pearl is simulated from glass so it's affordable and cruelty-free, too. "The perfect size and just the right amount of sparkle!" one shopper declared.

Something For Everyone: A Dainty Stud Set With Versatile Options

Whether you skew classic, minimalist, femme, or edgy, you're guaranteed to love several styles in this delicate stud earring set. The nine-piece set includes an assortment of metal and CZ studs, dainty bars, discs, and celestial shapes in both silver- and rose-gold tones that feature 316L stainless steel posts. However, the material for the backs of the earring designs couldn't be determined, so people with metal allergies, proceed with caution. That said, the brand advertises these as both nickel-free and lead-free. Amazon shoppers noted that these "super cute" earrings worked well on sensitive ears too. "Love these," one shopper raved, adding, "They are so pretty and look just like the picture! Normally earrings start to hurt my sensitive ears but these do not." Another fan noted, "Nothing fancy but they don't leave stains on my ears. Great buy!"

These gorgeous drop earrings by Kendra Scott flaunt sculpted semiprecious stones that are a worthy splurge to celebrate a promotion, a birthday, or a Wednesday. The silver options on the Elle earring feature rhodium plating that won't tarnish or turn, but does need to be redone eventually for a nominal fee. The post material for this design varies by color, so double-check when you're narrowing down the final choices to make sure you pick one that's skin-friendly for you (the gold-plated options might not be if you're sensitive to alloy blends). This is a great style that you can seriously wear to so many events, from denim to date night. That sophisticated versatility coupled with high-quality stones and metals makes these and investment that will definitely net you major wearing mileage.
