When you decide that you are going to find the most perfect pair of earrings for yourself! There is one thing that is missing: knowing your face shape. Do you know your face shape? And what type of earrings suits you the best, can you tell? When worn according to one’s body and personality, an accessory can do wonders for their look. Earrings are one accessory that can add a defining feature to every look and personality. Different types of earrings in different styles and designs create different appearances and experiences.

It's a great way to bring life to your look and make you look classy and fabulous in no time. It is a must-have accessory for everyone. When you choose wisely, your earrings can enhance your best features and add colour and personality to an outfit. It is important to choose earrings that complement your natural beauty rather than those that are in style.

From basic style and preference to factors like style, designs and material, all have their own features to add. Sometimes you might run into trouble when you really like an earring style but it just dulls your facial features. Matching all these features correctly for a beautiful, bold, or casual look is the real catch. You can choose your earring to match your outfit or the occasion, but unless it suits your face, it has no real significance of beauty.

Know Your Face Shape

If you determine your face shape, then choosing the perfect earring pair can be a total game-changer for your ensemble. It would just give an enhanced boost to your confidence. Five-face shapes are common among almost everyone; they are; round, square, oval, diamond and heart. Well, we are sure you didn’t know about these face shapes! But if you did, pat yourselves on the back, because selecting an earring is easy for you. For those who are confused about the fact, which is their facial shape, pull your hair back in a ponytail and take a mirror. Read the upcoming paragraphs to find out what your face shape is! 

Round Face

We don’t want to sound mean, but just as the name suggests your facial features are going to be round. People who have round facial shapes have wider cheekbones with a narrow forehead and jawline. If you are this person your facial features are going to have a uniform circular form.

Square Face

For people who have square-shaped faces, the width of your jawline, cheeks and forehead are going to have similar proportions. People who have this face shape do not have narrow proportions.

Oval Face

In this face shape, you will have high cheekbones, which are going to seamlessly blend with your forehead. However, your forehead is not going to be too wide. Your facial shape may be a bit narrow, with a slightly rounded chin.

Diamond Face

People who have a diamond facial shape will have excellent symmetrical cheekbones, which is the first and most important sign of having a diamond face. However, your forehead and chin are going to be narrower than your cheekbones, which is the most prominent feature of the person with a diamond facial shape.

Heart Face

People with a heart-shaped face can recognise their face shape when their features define having a wider forehead compared to their cheekbones. When you have a heart-shaped face, your facial features narrow down towards your chin.

Style Earrings Depending on Your Face Shape

When you are styling jewellery for any occasion, your jewellery needs to complement your facial features. In this section of our article, we help you with a thorough breakdown on which type of earrings would suit your facial shape the best. Let’s get started with it! 

The Most Versatile Face Shape—Oval

Ladies, if you have an oval-shaped face, congratulations on that because you definitely hit the jackpot! The reason we are saying this is because you can almost wear any earring style. Yes, you read it right—from stud earrings to danglers to drop earrings, and let’s not forget the versatile hoop earrings.

Feel free to mix, match and experiment with various types of earrings with different diamond shapes. For instance, you can go with our oval shaped stud earrings, which will surely enhance your facial shape!

The Cute Face Shape—Round

A round face shape is known to have almost similar proportions, but if you are planning to add some structure to your facial features, we suggest you do it with your earring choices. A redefining earring shape will add those striking angles to your face.

SHOP Stardust Dangles Earrings

Since people with round face shapes have an uncanny symmetry, we suggest you go for earrings that help you achieve a bolder look. You can go with tear drop earrings or dangling earrings; these earring styles will give the illusion of an elongated facial structure. 

Smooth Angled Face—Square

People with square-shaped faces have sharp jawlines and a broader face, so to match and complement your facial features, we suggest you go for earring styles that are completely opposite to your facial features. So, your safest bet for diamond shapes that complement your facial shape is to go for round shaped diamonds.

You can go for round diamond hoop earrings for a bolder look, but if subtle is your style, then you can go with round diamond shaped stud earrings or oval shaped earrings. This will be a good choice because these type of earrings will draw more attention to your facial features. 

Sweetheart Face—Heart

This might sound a bit funny, but a heart shaped diamond stud will just look perfect on you! For those who have a heart-shaped face, you should remember that you need to strike a balance with your earring choices, so, we suggest that you go for drop earrings or dangle earrings with elongated curves so that they balance out your face and draw attention to your jawline, cheekbones, and let’s not forget those dreamy eyes!

The Sparkling Face—Diamond

For people with this face shape, it is a bit tricky to decide which type of earrings suits them the best because their face starts narrow, then gets a bit wider near the cheekbones, and then narrows again down at the chin. People with this face shape are often referred to as having long faces, so if you have this face shape, we suggest you avoid going with long earrings. However, you can go for wider earring styles, like hoop earrings, in different lengths and styles. But if you want subtle elegance with a statement look, go for stud earrings or cluster earrings for a bold and beautiful look.
