Your face is usually the first thing that people notice. And while we try to focus on skincare and makeup to make us look our best (first impressions and all), choosing the correct accessories can make a world of difference. The right kind of earrings can enhance the shape of your face and highlight your unique features. However, despite being the most effortless way to alter your appearance, this is something that a lot of people don’t pay attention to. If you are one of those, read on to learn more!
Face shapes can be classified into several categories, but predominantly into the following six types:
-
Round Face Shape: If the length and width of your face are similar and there is a certain curvature to your features, then you are likely to have this face shape. Wearing pieces like long drops or dangling earrings can add an illusion of length to it.
Here are some suggestions of our earrings for a round face shape:
Rhinestone Shoulder Grazer Earrings
Crystal Bow Spiral Drop Earrings
Crystal Link Dangler Earrings -
Square Face Shape: Similar to the above-mentioned, but instead of a curvature, your features are angular (like a defined jawline, for example). To balance out the sharpness, you can go for designs that are round. You can also go for pieces that are long in contrast to your facial length.
Here are some suggestions of our earrings for a square face shape:
Crescent Moon Dangler Earrings
Oxidized Petal Dangler Earrings
Oxidized Frame Dangler Earrings -
Oblong or Rectangular Face Shape: As the name suggests, there is a noticeable difference in the length and width of your face and your features are more angular than round. Hoops, round studs, etc. can help add an illusion of width to your face.
Here are some suggestions of our earrings for an oblong/rectangular face shape:
Snowflake Stud Earrings
Oxidized Ghungroo Drop Earrings
Metal Rhinestone Hoop Earrings -
Heart Face Shape: People who have a wider top which then tapers down to a more pointed chin are said to have a heart-shaped face. Wearing designs that are wider at the bottom, like chandelier earrings can balance out your face’s proportions. Additionally, you can go for ear climbers that contour your ears and highlight the shape of your face.

Pearl Chandelier Earrings -
Diamond Face Shape: In case you have both a narrow chin and forehead but wider, more defined cheekbones, then you have a diamond-shaped face. `Apart from rounder designs that soften your features, the best pieces for this type of face shape are ear cuffs that accentuate your wider cheekbones and make them pop out in a more flattering way.

Oval Face Shape: Said to be the most versatile face shape, you can rock pretty much any kind of design as long as it sits nicely and complements your face proportions. If you have a face shape similar to this, you have a lot to work with!
