Tips for matching jewelry to face shape

Rectangular Face

Earrings: Small earrings are very suitable for people with long faces. Earrings with horizontal geometric shapes help complement skinny cheeks. Round or rich jewelry helps make the ears and neck look perfect. Earrings with big gemstones and colorful vintage earrings make the long face look more noble. However, people with long faces should avoid wearing long swinging earrings as they will make the face look longer.

Necklace: Short necklace is more ideal for the long face, and pendants with horizontal lines or in square shape, would have shortening visual effect to the long face.

Square Face

Earrings: Earrings with long chain or in vertical and geometric shape is the best for the square-faced people. The extended lines on both sides of the face produce the elongating visual effect on the face. Sleek and round earrings, such as the water drop-shaped, oval, oblong, crescent-shaped, new leaf, single petal-shaped, heart-shaped, spiral or long curved earrings are all good for the square face. Stud earrings should be avoided as they are usually suitable for women with very nice face shape. They not only fail to undermine the face defects but will even strengthen it and bring it to the fore. Jewelry with tough lines and square, triangular and pentagonal shapes should also be avoided, as it will exacerbate the visual sense of facial edges and corners.

Necklace: A square face requires a longer necklace to lengthen its face shape, so it is better to choose pendants with straight lines or geometric patterns.

Diamond-shaped Face

Earrings: Both large round and triangular earrings are suitable for the diamond-shaped face. Long earrings that reach the lower jaw help divert people’s sight off the high cheek bones, and the horizontal visual expansion helps complement the sharp chin. Earrings with water drop and round shapes are also nice. However, diamond-shaped, heart-shaped, inverted triangle, and exclamation point-shaped earrings should all be avoided, as they will make the chin look sharper, thinner and angular.

Necklace: Short necklace with big pendants helps set off the sharp chin softly. Pendants with straight lines or geometric patterns are also good choices.

Inverted-triangle Face

Earrings: People with inverted-triangle faces have a relatively sharp chin and a broad forehead. They should avoid wearing any earrings that make the cheek bones look larger. Therefore, stud earrings and drop earrings with hanging chains are the most incompatible adornments for the inverted-triangle face. Earrings with heavy decorations at the top and hanging filament strips at the bottom are like the imitation of the defects of the face shape as they highlight the inverted triangle facial outline. Therefore, it is wise to select the earrings or pendants with narrow top and wide base, such the water drop-shaped, gourd-shaped, equilateral triangles without sharp angles, oval and button shapes. They can balance the pointed and thin chin, and make the facial contour look smoother and softer. In addition, avoid wearing drop earrings with length leveling the chin as this will easily draw people’s attention to the wearer’s thin chin. Instead, shorter or longer drop earrings are more recommended.

Necklace: Necklaces with straight lines and geometric patterns make females with inverted-triangle faces look more decent.

Round Face

Earrings: Chain earrings and water drop-shaped earrings are particularly suitable for the round-faced people. While the vertical lines on both sides of the face produce the lengthening visual effect on the face, the earrings with curve designs match the round face harmoniously. Elongated earrings with rectangular shape, chain shape, water drop shape, Z-shape and leaf shape help balance the visual effect of the round face. The length of such earrings should be 2-3cm at best. It is wise not to follow the trend blindly to wear stud earrings or earrings with bulky blade, as they will make the face rounder.

Necklace: Necklace should be long, and pendants should be with vertical lines and oval pattern.

Oval face

Earrings: The oval face matches harmoniously and beautifully with most earrings. Even the simplest designs can produce good effects. Tassel earrings with length reaching the chin can bring out the wearer’s uniqueness by balancing the soft facial contour with a sense of toughness.

Necklace: Most necklaces are very suitable for the oval face. Pendants with round shape or curvy design help enrich the visual harmony.

Pear-shaped Face

Earrings: Water drop-shaped earrings, oval-shaped clasped earrings and earrings with moderate length are good for the pear-shaped face, but their length should not be extended to the chin, otherwise the lower jaw would look broader than it should be.

Necklace: People with the pear-shaped faces should choose necklaces with moderate length and pendants with vertical lines or patterns of water droplets. This elongates and softens the cheek significantly and make the face look more beautiful.

Heart-shaped Face

Earrings: The heart-shaped face matches well with earrings with gently curved patterns. The earrings can be big or small, bent or soft. Either way, they help radiate the feminine beauty.

 

Necklace: The heart-shaped face is highly adaptable, but the necklaces with slight curvature do a better job in highlighting the sharpness of the chin.
