How To Select Earrings To Match The Shape Of Face?

 Earrings are available online on many craft sites, at accessory stores, or you can go hunting at local craft fairs for earrings and other fashion jewelry.  Another great place to find original earrings is flea markets. There you can find some one-of-a-kind designs that no one else will be sporting. Just the nature of this type of jewelry gives you the greatest chance to wear something unique. 

Just remember that earring shapes should balance the face instead of matching it. Round hoops soften rectangular faces, but angular earrings emphasize sharp features. Follow these hints for individual features:  

Oval face:Lucky you! If you have an oval face shape, you can wear almost any earring style. Hoops and triangles are especially flattering. However, triangles will emphasize a pointy chin. 

Round face:Choose longer earrings with oblong or straight styles. Earrings with sharp angles balance the curves of the face. Avoid round and chunky earrings that sit on the ear lobe. For pretty gemstone earrings, consider the long chains with dangling gems. 

Square face:hoops, ovals and small earrings look best. Avoid wearing short and chunky earrings; they make the face appear wider. 

Large/small/full:  Earring size is relevant to the size and shape of each individual's face. Chunky earrings that are fabulous on a tall woman may overwhelm a petite woman's features. Round and button styles add curves to a full face; and 3-inch chains or spikes drag down a long, skinny face. Again, balance is key to good fit.
