Question about Whiteflash Huggies

[misskittycat]

My husband would like to buy me a pair of diamond hoops (what a lovely guy!!). We have narrowed it down to either the 1.5ctw Whiteflash hoops or a similar pair from IDJ. I would love to get a pair of AGBFs but they are just not in my price range right now

I'm not really a hoop owner - I have a 2.5 year old toddler so dangly things haven't really worked for me up until recently when she has become a little less grabby. I have a pair of Tiffany Mesh Somerset hoops but they are post and butterfly back style hoops.

In order to work out what size/style of hoops would work, I have been buying a few pairs of cheapie cheapies online (set with, most likely, plastic) just to get an idea of the look and feel. I find I really like wearing them, but one thing seems to be happening consistently - the hoop at the front seems to be falling forward which means a lot of the post is showing. No matter what I do it seems to happen after wearing them for about 10 minutes. It really bugs me and I really don't want to spend a lot of money on a pair of earrings that annoy me!

So my question to the owners of small to medium diamond set hoops is this - are the Whiteflash hoops better balanced so that the diamonds sit flush against the ear or will this happen with all hoops on me?

Hi misskittycat: maybe i can help !
I am not sure if I am reading your post correctly, are you talking about the WF 1.0 ct inside out hoops, or the huggies?

Just in case you are talking about the inside out hoops, I have a pair of those.
They are among my favorite purchases EVER !!!!!!!!!!!
COULDN'T be happier with them !!!

I have smaller earlobes and since I am a wee bit older, well, my earlobes are (no longer plump).
Plus the holes are stretched a bit from years and years of earring-wearing.

That said, I don't know how WF does it, but mine sit TOTALLY FLUSH WITH MY EAR !!!
EXACTLY like the picture.....
They must be VERY well balanced somehow...
And they are totally lightweight.
Believe me, if they drooped, I wouldn't like them as much, and would probably not wear them as often as I do!!!

I am positive they would look gorgeous on you !!!!

Not so sure about the balance on the Huggies, they look a bit front-heavy to me as well.....

BTW, I am with you on the AGBF earrings......
But I have found my hearts' desire earrings now, and I am totally content

edited to add: here is a linky to a post with some nice pictures of 2.0 ct weight WF huggies, you can see how they sit on her ear...

They look GORGEOUS, no?

I just received my Whiteflash 1ct huggies and I literally JUST posted pictures. I haven't had any problems with the hoops sliding forward at all. I tried on the 1.5ct ones and they fit wonderfully also....they were just a bit too blingy for me for every day wear.

The post area is small on the WF huggies, so I don't think they could slide forward enough to be a problem.

Thanks so much everyone! I was pretty sure they would be fine, but I thought I would ask the brains trust, just in case! Being in Australia, it's hard to return if they aren't right so it's a bit of a leap of faith!

Thanks so much!! It's the 5 stone huggies I was after. I'd love a pair of inside outs though...

Bringing back the topic of the Whiteflash inside out diamond hoops , 1 ctw.I think I would love these as an everyday sparkle , comfy look but have not seen many reviews of these shared prong beauties.
Many Pricescopers have purchased the 1ctw or 1.5 ctw huggies which have larger stones but only on the front of the earrings.
Does anyone have any input or real life photos of these inside out hoops?
Do they look too small IRL or add a nice splash of sparkle to each ear?
Hope someone can reply! Thanks!

I purchased inside/outside hoops at that size and returned them. At this size, you can't see the inside diamonds so you'd be better off going with outside only huggies.

Thanks for your input, orbaya.
I noticed you also had the 1.5 huggies from IDJ. Did you sell them? Were they comfortable and have a nice presence?
Would you recommend those over the inside outs?

 

[orbaya]

Yes, still do have those huggies. I would recommend them over the inside/out - you can't see the diamonds inside so it's better to have bigger stones on the front of the earrings.

I think the size is perfect for everyday wear. I'm very happy with them.
