When choosing the right pair of earrings, the multitude of choices can be overwhelming. Finding the pair that will compliment your face is even more challenging!
When choosing earrings, the shape of your face and the length of
your hair have a huge impact on deciding what shape and style of
earrings is best for you. They will draw immediate attention to
your face and will either enhance or minimize your features. So
what will it be?
How to Choose Earrings for Round Shaped Faces
The round shape is wide and long, with greatest width at the check.
Wear earrings that will add some angle to your face. Shapes to
choose from: oblong, oval or rectangle drops like this pair of
Amber Tear-Drop Clip-On Earring from AZ Collection, or
long narrow drops like these Dangle Diamond and Madeira Citrine Earrings in
yellow gold from Allurez.
How to Choose Earrings for Oval Shaped Faces
The oval shape features the same width for cheeks and forehead,
with a narrower chin. It is the easiest type of face to
accessorize, since most earring shapes will suit you. However,
avoid wearing earrings past your chin, as they will make your face
appear too long. You can experiment with the latest trends to see
what style looks best on you: a gold plate pair of Brass Hawk
Earrings from Elizabeth Cole Jewelry or these gorgeous Alexis
Bittar Faded Sepia Allegory Clustered Earrings.
How to Choose Earrings for Heart Shaped Faces
The forehead of a heart shape is wider the than cheeks, the face
narrowing at the chin. The perfect earrings for a heart face are
chandeliers: wider on the bottom than the top. Alexa Starr's
Grey Pearl Chandelier Earrings with
Silver Chain Fringe or the Brio - Murano Glass Bead Chandelier Earrings
from Antica Murrina will look wonderful on you!
How to Choose Earrings for Diamond Shaped Faces
A diamond shaped face features narrower forehead and chine, and
wider cheekbones. The perfect earrings: wide with curves and lines,
oval and studs, triangle shapes, but be careful to avoid long thin
earrings. A beautifully finished pair of Black & White Diamond Dangling Oval Earrings
from Allurez will suit you perfectly.
How to Choose Earrings for Square Shaped Faces
The forehead, jawline and chin are roughly the same width, so your
goal is to wear earrings with a round and angular edge, hoops and
curved shapes. You obviously need to avoid square shapes. Crystal Encrusted Hoop Earrings from Alexa Bittar or
White Brilliant Diamond Earrings Hinged
Hoop Sterling Silver from Allurez will definitely soften the
angles of your face.
