Shaine 18K Gold Half Pavé Single Huggie

Half the stone. All the presence.

A full pavé huggie covers everything in stones. A plain gold huggie offers only warmth. The Shaine sits deliberately between the two.

One row of 5A cubic zirconia runs along the front face of the hoop. The rest of the curve stays smooth, polished 18K gold plating over 925 sterling silver. So the piece has two faces: the stone side, crisp and bright, and the gold side, warm and quiet. You see both, and the balance between them is the point.

Worn on the lobe, the pavé row faces forward and the plain gold wraps around the sides and back. The stones don't cover the form. They accent it.

At 15mm and 2.4g, the Shaine is a huggie with real presence, but it still hugs the lobe closely rather than hanging like a hoop. Wear it alone at the primary lobe and it needs nothing else. Or let it anchor a composed ear: warm gold at the base, with quieter silver pieces rising above it in cool contrast.

Half the stone. All the presence.

FAQ

What does half pavé mean on a huggie?
Half pavé means stones are set on only part of the hoop, usually the front face, rather than all the way around. On the Shaine, a single row of 5A cubic zirconia runs along the front, and the rest of the hoop is smooth gold. The result is a cleaner, more architectural look than full pavé.

Is the Shaine solid gold?
No. The Shaine is 925 sterling silver with 18K gold plating. That gives it the warm tone of 18K gold on a genuine silver base.

Which side faces forward when I wear it?
The pavé row is designed to face forward when the huggie is on the lobe. The plain gold curve wraps around the sides and back.

Is a 15mm huggie too big?
A 15mm huggie is on the larger side, but it still hugs the lobe instead of hanging like a hoop. It reads as a confident statement at the primary lobe. If you usually wear 8 to 11mm huggies, expect a noticeably bolder look.

How is the Shaine different from the Valentina 18K Gold Pavé Huggie?
Both are gold plated pavé huggies on 925 silver. The Valentina is fully covered in layered pavé at 11.3mm, so it's smaller and bolder in sparkle. The Shaine is 15mm with one row of stones and more smooth gold showing, so it's larger and more restrained.

Can I mix the Shaine with silver earrings?
Yes. A gold huggie at the primary lobe with silver studs, cuffs or drops above it makes a deliberate mixed metal ear. The contrast reads as styled rather than mismatched.

Will the 18K gold plating wear off?
Gold plating wears gradually with regular use. Huggies wear faster at the back of the hoop, where it rubs against the lobe. Keep the Shaine away from perfume, lotion and harsh chemicals, take it off before showering, swimming or sleeping, and store it on its own in its pouch. Don't polish it with abrasive silver cloths. A jeweller can re-plate it when the tone softens.

Is the Shaine sold as a pair?
No. The Shaine is sold as a single piece for ear curation. Order two if you'd like one in each ear.

Is the Shaine suitable for sensitive ears?
18K gold plating over 925 sterling silver is well tolerated by most skin types. If your ears react easily to metals, the titanium pieces in MNML's Elements collection are the most reliable choice.
