Choosing earrings according to face shape
Earrings for a round or diamond-shaped face
Round heads are generally quite broad at the cheekbones and have a small, rounded jawline. The diamond shape is distinguished by a narrower forehead and chin. Women with these physical characteristics can accentuate their rounded features with square or geometric earrings. The idea is to create an angular effect with short, geometric drop earrings , square hoop earrings , or straight drop earrings . However, avoid wearing round hoop earrings or other rounded jewelry, which tend to emphasize the roundness of the face, especially around the chin line.
Here are some examples of earrings and other jewelry suitable for rounded or diamond-shaped heads:
- fine earrings with chains and pearls;
- dangling earrings decorated with stones or charms;
- small earrings with set zircons;
- sleepers with geometric patterns in leather ;
- small stud or chip jewelry with matching necklace …
Our advice: always choose jewelry that balances your look with your features.
Accessories for oval faces
This shape also has rounded features. However, its length is greater than its width, with a well-defined hairline and a curved jawline. Many types of earrings complement oval heads:
- triangular shaped earrings;
- large hoop earrings;
- nails…
You can also wear large earrings , regardless of their style. However, dangling earrings that are too long can make your head appear even more elongated. This is especially true for long and narrow faces: the ideal is to rebalance your face line with large jewelry like clips or thick hoops.
Jewelry suitable for square faces
The angles of this face type are pronounced, with a square jaw and a broad forehead. To soften this angular shape, it is necessary to add rounded elements.
Favor jewelry like:
- round and thin rings;
- a pair of round studs with a beautiful matching pendant;
- large round clips;
- heart, flower, feather shaped pendants;
- medium-sized sleepers adorned with precious stones...
Avoid models with overly angular shapes that accentuate the impression of a broad chin. Rectangular accessories are also a no-no in this case. You can also soften the bottom of your chin at the neck by opting for a pretty necklace in a color and design that matches your other jewelry.
The case of the heart-shaped or triangular face
It is characterized by a broad forehead and a narrow chin. To enhance your look, we recommend wearing accessories with an inverted shape, with the widest part located at the base of the jewelry.
This can be:
- large triangle-shaped earrings, with the base at the bottom;
- drop-shaped sleepers;
- all other types of jewelry with a wide base…
The inverted triangular face has a narrow forehead and a wide jaw. Heart-shaped dangling earrings, studs, and small hoop earrings are used to counteract the volume at the jawline.
