One of the Seven Biggest
Jewelry Surprises of 2019
Petite Diamond Huggy Hoop Earrings

These snuck right up on us. They are a sleeper, a surprise performer. All year women crowded in to buy them. These little diamond huggy hoop earrings were flying out of our store.

It is such a surprise when something starts selling faster than we and our partners can make them. There was no special marketing; we’ve not said a thing in print about these small, narrow, svelte streaks of brilliant light, little bolts of lightning. I was the last one to know how well they were selling all by themselves. The women in the store sat me down to explain how they suddenly became popular and had become one of the must haves of the year. R.H.P.

Here is what the women said:

• “A great value. Wear them every day.”
• “This is a nothing earring. Just a slip of gold. A spark, a streak of brilliance.”
• “Can’t understate huggy hoops. They are the best.”
• “Super cute. Classy, elegant, timeless.”
• “Svelte. So little.”
• “Love the colors: warm yellow, pure white, rose gold pink, glowing magically.”
• “Sometimes, smaller is better, heck, tiny is best.”
• “It’s not about what others may say, it’s about what I feel.”
• “I have generations of jewelry I’ve inherited. This is now. This is for me. They are just so tiny. I love them.”

To help to explain the buying frenzy, one lady bought eight pairs. When she got home, she emailed us a picture of seven of her friends all together wearing their new Petite Diamond Huggy Hoop earrings.

The women in our store convinced me. We bought big. It felt like a lot. More than we’ve ever bought of one diamond earring style. I’m a bit nervous. The women say we’re under stocked and will be sold out in less than two weeks and we will be scrambling to make more.

Daughter’s Revelation

I visited my eldest daughter in Philadelphia this spring. On my last day there, we had breakfast together, just the two of us. We talked politics, family, and jewelry. I asked her, “As a millennial, what do you and your friends believe?” She said prophetically, “Skinny, slim, svelte, nothing, slight.” Then she pointed toward her ear. I leaned in and said, “You’re wearing earrings?” She said yes, and took them out for me to see. She said, “I bought them myself. You don’t have anything like them.” We do now. -R.H.P
