Congratulations! You have a face shape that is not only incredibly photogenic but also ages beautifully! With a stunning jawline that gives your face remarkable structure, you might also notice you have healthy teeth and gums. The key for your face shape is to introduce softer curves through rounded, curved, and oval designs.

When it comes to earrings, there are a couple of shapes you’ll want to avoid:

Chunky earrings: These are bulky in size and shape.
Angular earrings: Think styles that feature sharp, triangle-like shapes.

Why should you steer clear of these? They can accentuate the angles of your face, potentially making it appear more boxy. Instead, opt for earrings that complement your beautiful features!

Soften those stunning angles by choosing from these incredibly complementary earring styles:

Slender, elongated dangle drop earrings: These feature a long, thin design that adds elegance.
Elongated rectangular drop earrings: These shapes provide a sleek look while enhancing your features.
Cluster stud earrings: The cluster effect breaks up the rounded shape, resembling a group of smaller studs.
Round studs: Their circular shape helps soften your angular jawline beautifully.
Medium hoops: Go for hoops that end at your jawline, featuring soft edges and intricate patterns for added flair.
Long hoop earrings: These drop below your jawline with gentle curves, creating a graceful silhouette.

Round Face: The best earrings to compliment your Round Face!

This is very exciting! Your face shape is renowned for being very youthful! It stays looking younger for longer compared with most of the other face shapes! Enjoy your radiant glowing complexion thanks to your bountiful cheeks! Downside - people might want to keep pinching them and you may have many childhood memories of this! The key with this face shape is to add angles which give structure to your bodacious curves!

So for your face shape, which is full of tempting curves, you may want to avoid these styles:

Round earrings - this might seem obvious but, they are going to make your face look, well... more round! This includes hoops and round studs (large or small)!

If you do opt for studs you will want very narrow, slim, rectangular or angular shaped studs. And go for studs that have a short drop.

For the most complimentary look you will want to favour these styles:

Elongated dangle drop earrings - the elongated style will help to lengthen your face shape. Think teardrop shaped earrings and long slender dangly earrings
Geometric shapes - rectangles, squares, triangles... these angular shaped earrings all help give your face more... yes! Angles!
Narrow chandelier earrings - the emphasis being on narrow! You do not want them flaring out too much at the edges! This will only add more curves to your already very curvy face!
Ear threads - the backless earrings you simply thread through your piercing which feature an elongated drop created behind your earlobe and a shorter drop in front of your ear lobe

These styles help to elongate your face, adding a flattering structure which balances out your naturally abundant curves!

Diamond Face: The best earrings to compliment your Diamond Face!

Well wouldn't you know it?! The most beautiful face shape is considered to be that of the diamond! High arching cheekbones with a narrow forehead and a stunningly tapering jawline ending in a beautiful chin! The key with your face shape is to draw attention to your eyes! For your face shape you may want to avoid these particular earring styles:

Studs - yes you want to avoid short studs, rounded studs, angular studs... basically studs of every kind!
Dangle drop earrings which start off wide at the top and taper off towards the ends!
Overly angular earrings - earrings with large obvious angles in their shape

Why? They draw attention to the one part of your face you do not need to accentuate any more! Your high arching, incredibly well defined cheekbones! Instead, let's compliment your beautiful cheekbones by selecting from one of these styles. Bearing in mind you want your earrings to be medium length - not too long and not too short so that you can even out the distance between your jawline and your cheekbones and the distance between your forehead and your cheekbones.

Gently curving elongated slender teardrop shaped earrings
Elongated slender dangle drop earrings
Elongated hoop earrings
Elongated oval shaped earrings
Slender short drop hoop earrings ending just below your earlobe

If you love chandelier earrings, keep in mind you do not want them to flare out in the middle! Go for a narrow chandelier style instead.

Heart Shape: The best earrings to compliment your Heart Face!

Asia here we come! Your face shape is highly coveted in Asia with its incredibly attractive V shape which brings a youthful look. Scientifically speaking this is supposedly the most attractive face shape! Unsurprising, when you consider your face literally looks like a reminder of the universal shape associated with love! Now that we got that covered! The key with your face shape is to avoid accentuating your cheekbones! With this in mind you'll want to steer clear of these styles:

Round dangly earrings - earrings which dangle and have a generally round body
Round hoop earrings
Studs - large round studs and small studs although studs with a short drop or slimline (e.g. long thin rectangular / angular studs) would actually compliment!
Earrings that are wider at the top and taper off towards the end - think an inverted pyramid

Instead choose from any one of these incredibly flattering styles:

Earrings which are narrower closer to the ear and widen out towards the bottom such as elongated teardrop earrings, wide bottom chandeliers and wide bottomed dangle drop earrings

Oval Shape: The best earrings to compliment your Oval Face!

Well I'll be floored! You have what is considered to be the most flattering face shape! The generally evenly proportioned shape of your face means you can carry most styles not just when it comes to hairstyles but earrings too! This however makes it a bit more challenging for selecting styles to compliment you! Generally speaking most styles will suit you, some better than others depending on the nature of the rest of your facial features (how angular or curved they are). You will typically want to avoid overly long and overly thin earrings! If you have more angular facial features you may want to lean towards:

Dangle drop earrings with a consistent width through the main body of the earrings
Dangle drop earrings with a ball and chain style look to them (bulky at the end and slimmer closer to the ear lobe)
Slender elongated dangle drop earrings - taking care not to go too thin and too long (past your jawline)
Earrings which are effectively an inverted pyramid shape (wider at the top and tapering down to a point towards the ends)
Geometric drop earrings
Elongated narrow chandelier earrings

If you have more curved facial features you may want to lean towards:

Large round statement studs (these can have frilly edges e.g. think large flower statement earrings)
Elongated abstract shaped earrings with thin intricate details
Elongated teardrop earrings which are slender and may or may not have smaller dangling elements at the ends
Chandelier style earrings with a generally even width throughout the drop of the earring

Elongated/ Oblong/ Long/ Rectangular Shape: The best earrings to compliment your Oblong face!

This is the most complicated face shape to label with so many terms batted about! When it comes to being slender, your face is miles ahead! Sleek and slender looking, your face has a beautiful length to it! The key with your face is to even it out by accentuating your cheekbones and avoid lengthening your face any further. These are the key styles you will want to steer clear of!

Long and slender dangle drop earrings where the body of the earring is long and thin and uniform

Why? They make your face look longer! Instead opt for one of these incredibly flattering styles:

Elongated full bodied teardrop earrings - the body of the earring has a lovely rounded quality to it and is quite wide
Elongated full bodied chandeliers - these fan out beautifully, dangling but in a very big and bold way
Elongated round earrings - a large round statement piece at the end of a short drop
Textured earrings - think large statement feathers, tassels and chains (interlinked to create width not length)
Ball and chain style earrings - a chain (opt for medium to short drop) on the end of which you have a large generally rounded or spherical shaped statement piece
