Mixed Metal Heart Charm Huggie Earrings
A little gold, a little silver, a lot of attitude!
These mixed metal huggies are proof that you don't have to choose a side. A polished huggie in one metal, a dangling heart charm in the other — the contrast is subtle enough to feel sophisticated, but playful enough to make you smile every time you put them on.
Hypoallergenic and lightweight, these are the earrings you reach for on autopilot — the ones already in your ears before you've had your first coffee. Wear them solo for a sweet everyday look, or stack them with other huggies and make your ear the most interesting thing in the room.
✦ Mixed metal design
✦ Secure snap-hinge huggie closure
✦ Hypoallergenic & lightweight for all-day wear
✦ Durable stainless steel with PVD finish
✦ Tarnish-resistant & water-resistant
Gemstone beads are genuine, high-quality semi-precious stones sourced from small businesses.
All metal components are crafted from stainless steel. Gold styles feature an 18k gold PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) finish — a process that bonds gold to the metal at a molecular level for a harder, longer-lasting result than traditional plating. The finish is waterproof, scratch-resistant, and tarnish-resistant, making it perfect for everyday wear. All metals used are hypoallergenic and free of nickel, lead, and other harsh chemicals, making them a great choice for sensitive skin.
Dos:
Store in a dry place — a cloth bag or jewelry box works great.
Store separately to prevent tangling with other pieces.
Keep a polishing cloth handy to remove sweat and oils.
Don'ts:
Avoid swimming, showering, or heavy sweating while wearing your jewelry.
Don't apply lotions, oils, and perfumes before putting on your jewelry.
Keep pieces out of the bathroom, as steam and humidity can cause damage.
Some of our beloved pieces (like our beaded necklaces) are made to order and can take 5-7 days to ship!
How to Measure
Wrap a string around your neck where you’d like the necklace to sit, then lay it flat against a ruler. Or, measure the length of you current favorite necklace.
Need something shorter or longer than 15–20"? Just ask. Every piece is handmade, so I’m happy to make yours to fit.
Love Notes
All the little things you might wonder
-
Every necklace sits a little differently depending on who's wearing it, and that's part of what makes jewelry so personal. Whether you're shopping for yourself or someone special, knowing your preferred length makes all the difference.
All you need is a piece of string and a ruler or measuring tape. Wrap the string around your neck, adjust until it falls right where you want it, then mark that spot and measure away.
Already have a necklace you adore the fit of? Measure that one and let it be your guide. And if something isn't quite right once it arrives, I've got you! Altru offers exchanges within 30 days of purchase so you can find the length that feels just like you. We have a extender chain that is also a great option if you're looking for a little extra flexibility. -
Stainless steel jewelry is water resistant, however, to prolong the life of your jewelry, it is not recommended to shower with it. No jewelry is completely waterproof, and removing it before you shower will help make sure it lasts a long time.

Use a microfiber cloth and a polishing paste. You can either purchase specific jewelry
cleaning products, or use a combination of baking powder and water, or simple
dishsoap for routine polishing. -
