Similar to how there are specific haircuts that suit different face shapes, wearing the right pair of earrings can make a significant difference in your overall appearance. With the plethora of options available, and trends changing by the day, knowing what type of earrings are best for your unique face shape is important. Whether you have a classic oval face or a more romantic heart-shaped face, the jewelry experts at Sep Vergara Fine Jewelry can help you find the perfect diamond earrings that best complement your looks and facial structure.
How Can the Right Earrings Enhance Your Wardrobe?
The earrings you wear can make or break your overall look. For instance, hoop earrings are a great choice for casual nights out or for a fun addition to your evening attire. More elegant drop earrings, however, would look out of place in the workplace or a simple get together. The perfect earrings should help highlight your neckline, draw attention away from any characteristics you wish to hide, and add depth and personality to your wardrobe.
Most people choose earrings based on the current trends, their favorite colors or styles, or their outfit, but what they don’t realize is that their face shape should actually be the most important factor to consider.
What are the Benefits of Choosing Earrings Based on the Shape of Your Face?
The right pair of earrings will enhance your best features while minimizing the areas of concern. You will find that wearing earrings best suited to your face shape can highlight your cheekbones, balance out the sharpness of your face, and create the illusion of a slimmer and softer appearance. By knowing what to look for when shopping for diamond earrings in Manila, you can easily find a pair that will accentuate your looks.
Match Your Earrings to Your Face Shape
The main rule you should follow when shopping for an earring is to choose a pair that is opposite to your face shape. We have listed the different face shapes below and provided our recommendations on what earring styles to try:
1. Round Face
Drop Earrings, Dangle Earrings, and Long Teardrop-Shaped Earrings
Round face shapes will benefit from earrings with long, dangling styles to lengthen the facial silhouette and make the face appear slimmer. Round faces are often wider at the cheekbones and have a narrow forehead and jawline.
The dangling and teardrop-shaped earrings are the perfect choice for round faces as these elongate the face. Drop earrings also complement round silhouettes and help create the illusion of a slimmer and longer face.
2. Heart Face
Teardrop Earrings and Large Stud Earrings
Heart-shaped faces have a wider forehead and a narrower chin. To balance out the jawline, we recommend choosing earrings that are wider at the bottom. Teardrop earrings with elongated curves are super flattering and highlight the eyes. Meanwhile, large stud earrings help balance your proportions and draw attention to the cheekbones and jawline.
3. Square Face
Hoop Earrings
Square face shapes have beautiful jawlines and strong angles. We recommend selecting diamond earrings with rounded and curved styles to soften the facial structure. Stunning hoop earrings are naturally eye-catching, which can take focus away from your sharp features and soften their natural angles.
4. Diamond Face or Inverted Triangle Shape
Stud Earrings and Delicate Drop Dangle Earrings
Diamond face shapes, also called the inverted triangle face shape, feature a narrow forehead and chin with accentuated cheekbones. Delicate drop dangle earrings can balance your naturally pointed features by pulling the focus from your forehead and creating the illusion of a wider jawline. Stud earrings are also a great choice, as these can highlight your strong features.
5. Oval Face
Huggies/ Dangle Earrings, Angular Hoop Earrings
Oval-shaped faces are defined by a slightly narrow forehead, a rounded chin, and beautifully high cheekbones. Because of this balance, oval faces can pull off any earring shape and style. Your facial structure offers incredible versatility, so we recommend adding variety to your collection in the form of angular hoop earrings that draw attention to your cheekbones. Dangle earrings are also an excellent choice as this complement the shape of your face.
6. Narrow Face
Shorter Dangle Earrings
Narrow face shapes have less-defined cheekbones and a narrow forehead and jaw. To balance out your natural proportions, we recommend choosing shorter dangle earrings with elongated curves. These will remove the focus from the length of your features and soften your overall appearance. Dangle earrings with lots of volume are another great choice as these instantly add fullness to your face.
Why Match Your Bone Structure to Your Earrings?
Aside from your personal style and preferences, you can also match your earrings to your bone structure. This will help you find earrings in the right size and weight to complement your face. Bone structure categories are divided into three:
- Small – A small or fine bone structure will benefit from delicate earrings and designs. Studs are a classic choice that offers some variety in the form of gemstones, sizes, and accents. An elegant pair of diamond earrings are a must-have in every jewelry collection. Stay away from oversized or overly long earrings as these can overpower petite features.
- Medium – Faces with medium bone structures are best complemented by medium-weight earrings. Stud earrings with sizable gemstones or medium hoop earrings will suit your bone structure nicely.
- Large – Larger bone structures will be able to pull off bolder earring styles. Feel free to choose medium to large, weighted earrings, chunky statement pieces, and long dangle earrings that draw the eye.
