Jewelry for Different Face Shapes

Did you know that just like different skin tones, jewelry can also flatter different face shapes? Certain styles of jewelry can enhance your best features and balance out your face shape, making you look your best. Here's a guide on which types of jewelry work best for each face shape, along with some examples of our pieces that are perfect for each shape.

Round Face Shape

If you have a round face shape, you want to choose jewelry that elongates your face and draws attention away from the roundness. Long, dangly earrings are a great choice, as they help create the illusion of a longer face. Layered necklaces are also great for adding length and creating a vertical line. Avoid chokers and studs, as they can make your face appear rounder.

Oval Face Shape

Oval face shapes are considered to be the most versatile, as they can pull off a wide range of jewelry styles. However, oval faces tend to look best with jewelry that complements their natural balance. Studs and small hoops work well for earrings, and collar or choker necklaces can help frame the face. Avoid jewelry that creates too much length, as this can make your face appear longer and narrower.

Our Queenify Jewelry Solid Gold Baguette Cluster Necklace is perfect for an oval face shape. The collar necklace helps frame the face, while the pearls add a touch of elegance and balance to the natural symmetry of the oval face.

Square Face Shape

If you have a square face shape, you want to choose jewelry that softens the angles and adds some curves.  Long necklaces that sit below the collarbone can help elongate the face. Avoid jewelry with hard angles or sharp corners, as this can make your face appear more angular.

Heart Face Shape

Heart face shapes are widest at the forehead and narrowest at the chin, so you want to choose jewelry that balances out the proportions. Earrings with wider bottoms and tapered tops, such as chandelier earrings or triangular studs, can help balance out a heart-shaped face. Necklaces with a rounded shape or that sit at the collarbone can also help create balance. Avoid jewelry with too much length, as this can make your chin appear even narrower.

Diamond Face Shape

Diamond face shapes are widest at the cheekbones and narrow at the forehead and chin. You want to choose jewelry that adds some width to the forehead and chin to create balance. Earrings with wider bottoms, such as chandelier earrings or triangular studs, can help create the illusion of a wider forehead and chin. Necklaces with a V-shaped design can also help create balance. Avoid jewelry with too much length, as this can make your face appear longer and narrower.

Now that you know which types of jewelry work best for different face shapes, here are a few additional tips to help you choose the perfect pieces for your unique features:

Consider your hair length and style:

Your hairstyle can also affect how jewelry looks on you. If you have short hair or an updo, you may want to choose statement earrings that add some sparkle to your look. If you have longer hair, you may prefer necklaces or bracelets that won't get tangled in your locks.

Think about your personal style:

While it's important to choose jewelry that flatters your face shape, it's also important to choose pieces that fit your personal style. If you love bold, statement pieces, don't be afraid to try a chunky necklace or oversized earrings, even if they aren't traditionally recommended for your face shape.
