Golden rules for selecting earrings

     

Square Face

• To soften the contours of a square face choose angular shapes with rounded edges. Proportionately medium-sized styles are best.
• These styles will soften the contours of your face!

     Round Face

• Lean, long, angular and curvy lines give a look of length to a round face.
• Avoid circles.

     Heart-shaped Face

• Lovely heart-shaped faces have slightly small pointy chins. Balance this feature out with teardrop pendant earrings, or ovals with mini chains.

     Long Face

• Pick extra large chandelier earrings with lots of volume to add width to a narrow face.
• For umph choose earrings with a combination of round and square shapes.

     Wide Face

• Consider Cascading Earrings to create the illusion of a longer look.
• Just sleek, flat earrings or ovals! Nothing too bulky.

     Oval Face

• Luck has shone on you!
• An Oval Face suits any style of earrings.

The Best Earrings for Diamond-Shaped Faces

Women with diamond-shaped faces should look for earrings with long, elegant curves. Both dangle and hoop styles accentuate this type of face. Choose earrings with soft curves to minimize any sharpness around the cheekbones or jaw line. Those individuals with diamond-shaped faces should avoid wearing dangle earrings that also feature a diamond shape. These pieces will make the lines of the face appear exaggerated and are not generally flattering.

The Best Earrings for Narrow Faces

Pearl earrings are ideal for narrow faces as they add softness and minimize length. Clustered pearl earrings that dangle far below the earlobe are a particularly good choice. Keep in mind that long dangle earrings tend to minimize the length of very narrow faces. When choosing dangle earrings, look for pieces with elongated curves that will accentuate the cheekbones and add softness.

The Best Earrings for Square Faces

Women with square faces should choose earrings with rounded designs that soften the cheekbones and jaw line. The best choices are elongated, dangling pieces and hoop earrings. Those women who would like to add extra drama to their look can choose oversized hoops that brush the jaw line or extend below the jaw line. Such hoops will both soften the face and make it appear smaller. Women with square faces should avoid wearing very wide earrings.

The Best Earrings for Heart-Shaped Faces

When choosing earrings for heart-shaped faces, look for pieces with elongated lines and curves. Pieces with elongated curves will help to balance out the face and will draw attention to the eyes, cheekbones, and jaw line. Women with heart-shaped faces look particularly good in dangle, teardrop, and chandelier earrings. Choose chandelier earrings in diamond shapes to add an interesting contrast to the face.

The Best Earrings for Round Faces

Women with round faces can aim to elongate their faces and minimize a puffy appearance by choosing teardrop and dangle earrings. Look for those pieces that have long, angular designs as opposed to rounded designs. Most women with round faces should avoid dangling circular discs as these can make the face look wider. It is almost always best for women with round faces to choose earrings of a thin to medium width.

The Best Earrings for Oval Faces

Women with oval-shaped faces look good in almost every style of earrings. However, they can create a particularly striking look by wearing oval-shaped dangling earrings. These earrings will draw attention to the face's elegant shape without adding any width or length. Women with oval faces also look stunning when wearing teardrop earrings. Much like oval dangling earrings, these pieces accentuate the face's natural shape and create a sense of symmetry or balance.
