The Ultimate Face Shape and Earrings Style Guide

Face Shapes and Earring Types ↓
  • Line drawing of a square face shapeSquare

    How To Know If You Have A Square Face & Best Earring Types

    How to Identify a Square Face

    Take a moment to observe your facial structure. If your forehead, cheekbones, and jawline are about the same width, and your jawline appears broad and square, your face is likely square-shaped. The strong, angular features characteristic of a square face call for earring styles that soften and balance these sharp lines.

    Earrings to Consider

    Opt for circular styles like gemstone hoop earrings to counteract the angles in your face, creating a more harmonious look. For an elongating effect, try gemstone drop earrings or gemstone dangle earrings, these add a touch of elegance and help your face appear more oval. Gold and gemstone earrings or multi gemstone drop earrings are also excellent choices, bringing both luxury and balance to your features.

    What to Avoid

    Steer clear of square or angular earrings, as they tend to emphasize the sharpness of your facial features, making your face appear more severe.

  • Line drawing of a heart face shapeHeart

    How To Know If You Have A Heart-Shaped Face & Best Earring Types

    How to Identify a Heart-Shaped Face

    A heart-shaped face features a broader forehead that tapers down to a narrower chin. If you notice your forehead is the widest part of your face and your chin comes to a subtle point, you likely have a heart-shaped face. The goal here is to add width at the jawline to balance the overall shape.

    Earrings to Consider

    Look for earrings that are wider at the bottom, such as teardrop earrings or chandelier-style gemstone earrings. These styles help draw attention downward, adding balance to your face. Cluster gemstone earrings and pearl gemstone earrings also work well, accentuating the natural beauty of your face shape while adding a touch of elegance.

    What to Avoid

    Avoid earrings that are wider at the top, like triangle shapes. These can make your forehead appear broader and your chin even more narrow, disrupting the balance of your face.

  • Line drawing of a round face shapeRound

    How To Know If You Have A Round Face & Best Earring Types

    How to Identify a Round Face

    A round face typically has soft, rounded features, with the width and length of the face being almost equal. If your face is widest at the cheeks and lacks sharp angles, you likely have a round face. The key is to choose earrings that elongate your face and add definition.

    Earrings to Consider

    Elongated designs, such as gemstone drop earrings or gemstone dangling earrings, are perfect for giving the illusion of a more slender, contoured face. Consider natural gemstone earrings in teardrop shapes to further slim your face. For a pop of color, pink gemstone earrings or multi gemstone hoop earrings can be both flattering and stylish.

    3. Angular earrings: a faceted crystal diamond shape hanging from a gold oval link, by Andrea LiAngular

    What to Avoid

    It’s best to avoid round earrings or hoops, as they can accentuate the roundness of your face rather than balancing it.

  • Line drawing of a diamond face shapeDiamond

    How To Know If You Have A Diamond-Shaped Face & Best Earring Types

    How to Identify a Diamond-Shaped Face

    Diamond-shaped faces are characterized by a narrow forehead and chin, with wider cheekbones. If your cheekbones are the broadest part of your face and your forehead and chin are narrower, you likely have a diamond-shaped face. The goal here is to soften the angles and create a more balanced look.

    Earrings to Consider

    Oval or teardrop earrings are ideal for adding softness to the sharper angles of a diamond-shaped face. Consider gemstone drop earrings or gemstone dangle earrings to balance your features elegantly. Handmade gemstone earrings in soft, rounded shapes can also enhance your natural beauty by creating a harmonious appearance.

    What to Avoid

    How To Know If You Have An Inverted Triangle Face & Best Earring Types

    How to Identify an Inverted Triangle Face

    An inverted triangle face is marked by a broad forehead that tapers sharply to a narrow, pointed chin. If your forehead is the widest part of your face, and your chin appears more pointed, you probably have an inverted triangle face. The aim here is to balance the top and bottom of your face.

    Earrings to Consider

    Go for earrings that add width at the chin, like teardrop earrings or gemstone drop earrings that are wider at the bottom. Gemstone hoop earrings or multi gemstone drop earrings are also great choices, as they help balance a broader forehead by drawing attention downward.

    What to Avoid

  • Line drawing of a oval face shapeOval

    How To Know If You Have An Oval Face & Best Earring Types

    How to Identify an Oval Face

    An oval face is longer than it is wide, with a gently rounded forehead and chin. If your cheekbones are the widest part of your face and your face is slightly longer than it is wide, you likely have an oval face. Oval faces are often considered the most versatile when it comes to earring styles.

    Earrings to Consider

    Almost any earring style complements an oval face, allowing you to experiment with various designs. Teardrop earrings or studs with gemstones can highlight your cheekbones, while hoops, dangles, and statement earrings like multi gemstone hoop earrings enhance your natural symmetry.

    Any earring shape works

    3. Chandelier earrings of gold links and rings with a dark blue gemstone, by Andrea LiChandelier

    What to Avoid

    While oval faces can pull off almost any style, very long earrings might elongate the face too much. It’s best to focus on earrings that emphasize balance and proportion.

Best Gemstones for Neutral Skin Tones

Lucky you, having a neutral skin tone opens up a world of possibilities in gemstone selection. Neutral skin tones are incredibly versatile, allowing you to explore a broad spectrum of colors. Typically, those with neutral skin tones look stunning in gemstones that fall in the middle of the color spectrum, neither too bright nor too bold. Think about incorporating shades like dusty pink, medium green, jade, light peach, and lagoon blue into your jewelry collection.

How to Determine if You Have a Neutral Skin Tone

  • If you look at your veins, do they appear both blue and green? This might indicate a neutral tone.
  • You might find that both silver and gold jewelry look equally flattering on you.
  • Your skin may neither burn too easily nor tan too deeply but does a bit of both.

Suggested Gemstone Types for Neutral Skin Tones

  • Green ChrysopraseGreen Chrysoprase: With its serene green hue, jade strikes a perfect balance, enhancing your natural skin tone.
  • Rose QuartzRose Quartz: This gemstone’s soft, dusty pink offers a subtle yet elegant accent.
  • AquamarineAquamarine: The refreshing lagoon blue of aquamarine provides a gentle pop of color that isn’t overpowering.
  • Peach MoonstonePeach Moonstone: The light peach tones of moonstone add a delicate glow to your ensemble.

Best Gemstones for Cool Skin Tones

If you have a cool skin tone, characterized by pink or blue undertones, you’re likely drawn to the crisp, fresh colors that bring out the best in your complexion. Jewel tones such as fuchsia, pure white, icy or cornflower blue, black, purple, and bright cherry red are especially flattering, enhancing your skin’s natural coolness.

How to Determine if You Have a Cool Skin Tone

  • Notice how your veins appear, are they more blue or purple? This suggests a cool tone.
  • Silver jewelry might be your go-to, as it tends to complement your skin better than gold.
  • Your skin may burn more easily than it tans, which is another sign of a cool undertone.

If you have a warm skin tone, you might naturally gravitate toward autumnal hues such as oranges, browns, navy blues, and warm greens. Spring-inspired shades like creams, corals, soft yellows, and deep ruby red also beautifully enhance your complexion.

How to Determine if You Have a Warm Skin Tone
