Ever fallen in love with a pair of earrings only to feel they didn’t love you back? We can feel you, but trust us, you’re not alone!

It is not about the style of bling, but the shape of your face. If you have ever wondered why certain earrings for women look amazing on others but can’t create the same magic for you, this guide is for you.

Let’s dive in to learn how to choose the perfect earrings for your face shape, so you can feel fabulous every time you slip on a pair.

Understanding Your Face Shape

Stand in front of a mirror with your hair neatly pulled back. Now take a good look at your face. What do you see- is it more round, square, heart-shaped, oval, or maybe even diamond-shaped?

Here is a guide for you to identify your face shape:

1. Oval Face

• Length: Slightly longer than wide
• Forehead and Jawline: Balanced, with the jawline slightly narrower than the forehead
• Chin: Rounded
• Overall Shape: Soft, curved lines with no sharp angles

2. Round Face

• Length and Width: Nearly Equal
• Cheeks: Full and Rounded
• Jawline: Soft, with little definition
• Overall Shape: Circular appearance with a rounded chin

3. Square Face

• Length and Width: Almost equal
• Jawline: Strong, well-defined, and angular
• Forehead: Broad, similar width to the jawline
• Overall Shape: Straight lines with minimal curves

4. Heart-Shaped Face

• Forehead: Wide and prominent
• Cheekbones: High and wide
• Chin: Narrow and pointed
• Overall Shape: Wider at the top with a narrower chin

5. Diamond-Shaped Face

• Cheekbones: High and prominent, widest part of the face
• Forehead and Jawline: Narrow compared to the cheekbones
• Chin: Pointed
• Overall Shape: Angular with a narrow forehead and chin

These features can help you identify your face shape and choose earrings that would serve justice for you.

 

Earrings for Women with Different Face Shapes

Best Earrings for Oval Faces
If you have an oval face, you are blessed, literally! Your balanced proportions mean you can pull off just about any earring style. From dazzling diamond stud earrings to playful pearl drop earrings, you are spoiled for choice.

Want to add some drama? Try something bold like gold hoop earrings. The larger the hoop, the more it compliments the length of your face. Check out these stunning 9ct Yellow Gold Large Hoop Earrings from FJewellery.

They flaunt a beautiful large moondust ribbed edge design and are perfect for adding that oomph to your look.

Flattering Earrings for Round Faces
Round faces have softer curves and almost equal width and height, which makes elongated earrings your best friend. To balance the roundness, go for longer, more angular styles that draw the eye downward.

For instance, these gold and diamond drop earrings can complement your face shape and take away the attention from the roundness of your face, giving it an elongated look.

Crafted from 9ct solid yellow gold and 0.29ct diamond, these drop earrings can add an angle to a round face while also elongating it.

Long, drop earrings or chandelier earrings are fantastic choices for such face shapes. They not only add length to round faces but also make them appear slimmer. Explore our drop earrings collection and choose your favourite piece.

Perfect Earrings for Women with Square Faces
If you have a square face, you flaunt a strong jawline with a wide forehead and cheekbones. The goal here is to soften these sharp angles with rounder, curvier earrings. Huggie Earrings or Hoop Earrings are great choices for you if you belong to the square-shaped face category.

Silver Hoop Earrings such as these 925 sterling silver twisted hoop earrings are an excellent choice to add some softness to your look.

Top Earrings for Heart-Shaped Faces
A wider forehead and cheekbones with a narrower chin are the key characteristics of a heart-shaped face. The key is to balance out your face by drawing attention downwards and adding width around the narrow chin.

Teardrop earrings and long, slander chandelier earrings can do this job for you if you have this face type. Larger hoop earrings or ones that are wider at the bottom can also add width to the lower part of the face, balancing the top-heavy shape.

Consider these beautiful and elegant chandelier earrings from FJewellery.

These chandelier drop earrings crafted from 925 sterling silver and adorned with cubic zirconia stones will not only enhance your natural face shape but will also add a touch of sophistication to your overall appearance.

Best Earrings for Diamond-Shaped Faces
Diamond-shaped faces are blessed with high cheekbones and narrower forehead and chin, so the aim should be to highlight these cheekbones while softening the angles. Choose earrings that are wider at the bottom to create a perfect balance.
Consider teardrop earrings or more classic huggie earrings.

These 14ct Solid 1 Micron Gold Plated Huggie Earrings for women are a great choice for balancing your features and adding a touch of glamour.

It has an angular design that contrasts well with the soft, rounded contours of a round face, giving it an elongated look.

• Square Faces: Stud earrings for women soften the strong angles of this face type, especially the ones that have a round or curved design.
• Heart-shaped Face: Studs that are not too wide can complement the narrow chin and don’t overpower the face’s delicate features.
• Diamond-shaped Faces: Stud earrings draw attention to the cheekbones without adding width, enhancing the natural angles of a diamond-shaped face.

The understated charm of gold stud earrings makes them a universally flattering choice for all face shapes.
