Close to the Lobe, Close to the Heart: Why Huggies Are A+M’s Signature Style

There’s something intimate about a huggie earring. Nestled close to the skin, it doesn’t simply decorate—it becomes a quiet extension of self. At Alden + Mara, the huggie is more than a silhouette—it’s a philosophy. It represents what the brand does best: design that feels personal, purposeful, and enduring. In a world that often values loudness, A+M huggies offer luxury that listens instead of shouts.

Crafted in 14K solid gold, white gold, and gold vermeil, A+M’s huggies embody the brand’s commitment to refined minimalism and sustainable elegance. The shapes are clean, the proportions just right—enough to gleam when you turn your head, subtle enough to wear without ever removing. These earrings are made for movement, for layering, for living. You don’t switch them out for different occasions; they adapt with you.

And then, there’s the emotional pull. Huggies have long been favored for their closeness—a gentle clasp around the earlobe that feels protective, almost affectionate. A+M takes that instinctive appeal and elevates it, offering versions with lab-grown diamond accents, satin finishes, or mirror-shine polish. Each one is a quiet declaration: I know who I am. I choose what stays close.

In the current wave of quiet luxury jewelry, huggies sit at the center—unfussy, timeless, endlessly functional. A+M’s versions are especially suited for those curating an intentional wardrobe. They’re earrings that don’t fight for attention but create a foundation for everything else—be it a polished work ensemble or a Sunday tee and jeans. This is jewelry made to integrate, not overwhelm.

The brand’s use of ethical materials, including recycled gold and conflict-free stones, makes each pair feel even more considered. These aren’t accessories chosen on impulse—they’re keepsakes. The kind of piece you buy for yourself, wear daily, and pass down not because it was flashy, but because it never stopped being relevant.

In the end, A+M huggies aren’t just a category—they’re a signature. Close to the lobe, yes. But even closer to the heart.
