Jewelry to Suit the Shape of your Face

Types of Jewelry that Help Flatter Different Face Shapes

Jewelry looks good on any shape of face, but you can enhance and flatter your face by choosing certain pieces. Whether you have an oval, round, square or heart shaped face, there is jewelry to bring out your best.

Flattering Jewelry for Square Faces

People whose face is squarer than they like can soften their look by choosing round necklace shapes and beads. Avoid choker length necklaces which will bring focus onto the chin area. Longer necklaces will help draw the eye downward and will soften a square shaped face.

Earrings are best kept above the jaw line and rounded shapes work well.

Rectangular Faces

If your face is more rectangular than square, wearing shorter necklaces will prevent your face from looking longer than it is. Choker length or slightly longer work well.

Jewelry for Oval Faces

Oval shaped faces are fairly evenly balanced and pretty much any jewelry will look good. Since pretty much anything goes, don’t be afraid to try some new looks.

Round Face

To make a round face look longer and slimmer, long necklaces work well. Earrings that are the same length or are longer than the jaw line will also help to create a more elongated face.

Choose chunky and square or other straight edged elements in necklaces to help balance things overall. Pendants help draw the eyes downwards and also create the illusion of a longer face.

Heart Shaped

To make a heart shaped face appear more oval, choose short necklaces or ones which have a more horizontal aspect rather than vertical. Avoid long necklaces which have too similar a shape to the chin line which will accent the heart shape even more.

Earrings that dangle down and have some substance at the bottom are great for making the face look wider.

Keep your Own Personal Tastes In Mind

While following these guidelines can help you find jewelry to bring out or play down face shapes, don’t be discouraged from wearing many different jewelry styles. Jewelry is very much a personal opinion, and wearing what you find attractive is the most important factor in feeling beautiful.
