Cheapish gold "sleeper"/huggie earrings that don't tarnish?

Are there any decent ones out there? I like the type that "click" rather than the kind where you have to poke one end into the other (if that makes sense).

I'd like a pair that won't tarnish which I guess means solid gold but I don't have a lot to spend .....

Try Argos

They have 9ct gold ones, for example

and various others including gold-plated silver which should be fine from the non-tarnishing pov

Thanks - is good plated ok then? I have a pair that have ended up tarnished - thought it was because they were plated but can't remember what they are tbh

I have rose gold huggie ones from Astrid & Miyu, been wearing them for months and they haven't tarnished.

I have some lovely ones from withbling.com which I've been wearing constantly for months without tarnishing. Mine are these ones which are teeny tiny but look good in 2nd earlobe piercings and are gold plated.

I have some with ball shaped screw in backs. They were cheap from ebay but gold coloured hypoallergenic surgical steel and they have not tarnished yet. I have lost too many earrings with butterfly backs that flick off.

Another vote for Astrid and Miyu

Sorry you meant small hoop earrings, ignore my post.

I got some gold filled click ones on eBay..cost 4 quid...great colour and no fading etc.. everyone thinks they are real !

Thanks all. I have an Astrid & Miyu earring in my 2nd piercing (they did the piercing in fact!) so I'm not sure why I didn't think of them! Will give them a go
