Earrings are one of the most popular and versatile accessories. They can completely transform an outfit and add a touch of personality to any look. However, choosing the perfect earrings can be a challenge, especially if you want to ensure they flatter and complement your face. Each face shape has unique features that can be enhanced or softened with the right earrings. Discover everything you need to know about selecting the most suitable earrings for your face shape so you can shine on any occasion.
If you have an oval face, you're lucky—you can wear almost any type of earrings and they will suit you well. To highlight your features, opt for long, dangling earrings. Hoop earrings and stud earrings can also be great choices.
That said, it’s also important to consider the size and style of the earrings:
If you have a round face, the best earrings are those that help elongate and refine your face. Dangling earrings with angular shapes or elongated designs are ideal, as they visually lengthen the face. Hoop earrings can also help create a more refined look.
Avoid round or very large earrings, as they can make your face appear wider.
Square faces should opt for earrings that soften their angular lines. Round or curved earrings are ideal for this face shape. Dangling earrings and teardrop-shaped designs can also help soften facial features.
Try to avoid angular or oversized earrings, as they can make your face look even more square.
Longer face shapes benefit from earrings that add width to the face. Round earrings, teardrop-shaped earrings, and curved designs are perfect for this face type. Wide and short earrings can also help create a balanced look.
Avoid very long and thin earrings, as they can make your face appear even longer.
Teardrop earrings or those with a rounded lower part are excellent choices for heart-shaped faces. Long and dangling designs also complement this face shape beautifully.
It’s best to avoid earrings that are too large or angular.
For fair skin, earrings in cool tones such as sterling silver or 18-carat white gold are the most flattering. When it comes to coloured stones or details, opt for pastel shades like light pink, soft blue, or mint green, which complement the delicacy of fair skin. Clear gemstones such as diamonds, pearls, and sapphires also work beautifully.
If you have a medium skin tone, warm-toned earrings like 18-carat yellow gold will complement your complexion perfectly. Earrings featuring brown, green, or orange stones can also be very flattering. Semi-precious stones in warm hues, such as topaz or citrine quartz, make a stunning choice for medium-toned skin.
Earrings made from 18-carat yellow or white gold, as well as sterling silver, stand out beautifully against darker skin tones. Bold colours such as red, purple, and deep blue are especially flattering, as are richly coloured gemstones like emeralds and rubies.
With this guide, you’ll be able to find the earrings that best suit your face shape and skin tone. However, the most important thing is to choose earrings that you love, feel comfortable wearing, and that make you feel confident. Browse our collection and find your perfect pair of earrings today!
