Discover Your Face Shape
Before selecting jewellery or matching it with your outfit, identify your face shape. Pull back your hair and observe your proportions via mirror or measurements—especially your forehead, cheekbones, and jawline. Common face shapes include:
- Round — similar width and length, soft curves
- Oval — longer than wide, balanced features
- Square — angular jawline, equal forehead, cheeks, jaw
- Heart — broad forehead, tapered chin
- Diamond — narrow forehead/chin, wide cheekbones
- Rectangle/Oblong — elongated, narrow width
Jewellery by Face Shape
- Oval Face (Versatile & Balanced)
- Earrings: Nearly any style works—studs, hoops, teardrops—especially those that echo your natural symmetry
- Necklaces: From chokers to long pendants—experiment freely
Round Face (Create Length & Definition)
- Earrings: Opt for long, linear drops or geometric shapes to visually elongate the face. Avoid circular or hoop styles that emphasize
- Necklaces: Choose long pendants or Y-shaped chains to create vertical lines
Square Face (Soften Angular Features)
- Earrings: Rounded hoops or teardrop earrings soften your sharp jawline. Avoid angular, boxy styles
- Necklaces: Curved or delicate Y-shaped necklaces introduce fluidity to angular faces
Heart Face (Balance Forehead & Chin)
- Earrings: Teardrop or chandelier styles widen the lower face and draw attention downward
- Necklaces: Short styles like chokers enhance the upper neckline and balance a pointed chin
Diamond Face (Soften Cheekbones & Balance)
- Earrings: Wider-bottom designs like teardrops or hoop earrings soften sharp angles
- Necklaces: Chokers and princess-length with rounded pendants emphasize harmony
Rectangular/Oblong Face (Break Vertical Lines)
- Earrings: Wide or cascading styles add horizontal width—avoid elongated lines
- Necklaces: Shorter styles like chokers introduce horizontal interest
Match Jewellery to Your Outfit & Occasion
- Balance Statement Pieces: If wearing a bold necklace, pair with subtle earrings and vice versa. This creates harmony in your overall look
- Match Metals & Mood: Complement your outfit’s tone—blast minimalism with delicate pieces or elevate monochromes with bold accessories
- Hairstyle Matters: Updos or short cuts can suit statement earrings; long hair benefits from longer necklaces or elegant stud earrings
Final Thoughts: Confidence Is Key
These guidelines serve as helpful starting points, but ultimate style is personal. Wear what feels right to you—whether or not it aligns with your face shape. As highlighted across sources:
“Confidence is your most beautiful accessory.”
