Necklaces to Enhance Face Shape

Necklaces for Oval-Shaped Faces

Designers consider the oval shape to be ideal because all jewelry styles are flattering for this look. Long necklaces, short chains, and pendants complement the symmetry and balance of oval faces.

Necklaces for Pear-Shaped Faces

Long necklaces with multiple chains balance the strong jaw of pear shapes. Opera-length necklaces are ideal for elongating the face and making it appear less triangular. Gemstone pendants can draw attention away from the jaw line for a more balanced look.
Necklaces for Heart-Shaped Faces

Chokers and shorter necklaces create bulk near the narrowest area of the face for a more balanced appearance. Large, chunky pendants are flattering for heart-shaped faces. Narrow chains tend to elongate the face and enhance the pointed chin, so thicker is better for this face shape. For business and formal events, stacked and multi-chained necklaces help balance this look.
Necklaces for Square-Shaped Faces

Necklaces with lengthy chains elongate the face while softening the strong, angular jaw line. Collar-length necklaces complement the features of a square face.
Necklaces for Rectangle-Shaped Faces

Shorter necklaces with bulky chains or several accents detract from the oblong shape of the rectangle face. Wrapped necklaces, such as rope chains, flatter individuals with this face shape.
Necklaces for Round-Shaped Faces

Women with round faces choose necklace designs that make their features appear more oval in shape. Longer necklaces and drop pendants elongate the face, and collar-length, chunky styles balance the rounded features. Lariat and plunging necklaces help individuals achieve the oval appearance.
