Which earrings suit your face shape?

Everyone is unique and that includes your face shape. The right pair of earrings or a necklace can enhance your natural beauty, soften your jawline, or highlight your cheekbones. In this blog, you'll discover how to choose jewelry that perfectly complements your face shape.

How do you determine your face shape?

Standing in front of the mirror with your hair pulled back is the best way to see the shape of your face. The most common types are:

  • Oval: your face is longer than it is wide, with a rounded jawline.
  • Round: your cheeks are the widest part of your face, and your face is about as long as it is wide.
  • Square: wide jawline, often as wide as the forehead.
  • Elongated: narrow face, often with a higher hairline.
  • Heart-shaped: wide forehead, narrow chin.
  • Diamond-shaped: wide cheekbones, narrow chin, and narrow forehead.

Don't worry if you don't fit into one box right away—it's about accents, not rules.

Oval face

Lucky you! Almost all jewelry looks good on you. Long earrings, studs, necklaces at different lengths—feel free to experiment.

Tip: try the Fenna twist earrings with the elegant Figaro 1.8mm necklace for a versatile look.

Round face

Choose elongated or angular earrings to visually lengthen your face. Avoid large, round models that make the face look fuller. Necklaces with a V-shape or pendant add length.

Combine the June hoop earrings with the refined Anchor necklace for an elegant, sleek look.

Square face

Round or oval earrings soften the angles of your face. Angular jewelry can emphasize the sharp lines—unless that's your style. Opt for necklaces with round links or soft curves.

Wear the Fay twist hoops together with the Classic pearl necklace for a subtle contrast and soft look.

Elongated face

Opt for short earrings, such as studs or wide hoops. Long, slender earrings make your face look even longer. Chokers or short necklaces break up the length and provide balance.

Choose the Josie twist earrings in combination with the distinctive Bamboo necklace for a modern and flattering look.

Heart-shaped face

Wear teardrop-shaped earrings or wide shapes at the bottom. They balance out your narrower chin. Subtle necklaces without large pendants work best.

Tip: the Ivy chunky teardrop earrings combined with the soft Classic pearl necklace create a beautiful balance and refined look.

Diamond-shaped face

Earrings that add volume at the top (such as ear climbers) or wide hoops work beautifully. A delicate necklace with soft lines or a short pendant accentuates your neckline without competing with your cheekbones.

Go for the Scarlett diamond climber earrings in combination with the elegant Figaro 1.8 mm necklace for an elegant yet distinctive look.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if I have a round, oval, or heart-shaped face?

Use a makeup pencil or lipstick to draw the outline of your face on a mirror. Look at the ratio between width, length, and where the widest point is: at the cheeks, forehead, or jaw.

What jewelry flatters a long face?

Go for jewelry that breaks up the visual: wide earrings, studs, or short pendants. Chokers or short necklaces are ideal for balancing the face.

Can I have multiple face shapes?

Yes, definitely! Many people have a combination of features. Consider the face shapes as guidelines, not strict rules. Trust your instincts and your reflection in the mirror.
