Remember that this is only a guide and that the most important thing is to choose earrings that you like and feel comfortable wearing.

There are several types of face shapes, and certain types of earrings look best on each shape. 

Which earrings to wear according to my face shape?

First we will detail what type of faces exist so that we can identify with one or the other and choose the right earring style. 

What face shapes are there?

  1. Round face

  2. Oval face

  3. Diamond or heart-shaped face

  4. Square face

  5. Elongated face

How do I know what my face shape is?

To find the shape that best resembles your face, we recommend following these steps:

  1. Comb your hair back to get a clear view of your features.
  2. Write down your measurements and compare them to determine your face shape.
  3. Measurement A: Measure the length of your face from forehead to jaw.
  4. Measurement B: Measure the width between the temples.
  5. Measurement C: Measure from the edge of one ear to the other without passing in front of the nose.
  6. Measurement D: Measure your jaw from one lobe to the other.

Results:

  • Round face: the length and width of the face are almost equal. That is, the measurement between A and C are similar. 
  • Elongated face: The length is greater than the width. That is, A is greater than C.
  • Oval face: It is similar to the elongated with the length greater than the width, but more marked cheeks.
  • Heart-shaped face: The forehead is wider than the jaw and narrows towards the jaw and chin. That is, B is slightly larger than C and likewise C larger than D. 
  • Square face: forehead, cheeks and jaw have the same length and width. That is, B, C and D have similar measurements. 

What type of earrings are most flattering to your face?

Here are some general tips on how to choose the type of earrings that best suit your face:

  • Round face: Long, narrow earrings will help you visually lengthen your face, managing to balance the circular shape.
  • Oval face: Earrings of any shape and size work well with an oval face because of their balanced shape.
  • Heart-shaped face:Teardrop or teardrop-shaped earrings are a good choice as they will add balance to your face.
  • Square face:Teardrop or teardrop shaped earrings are a good choice as they will add balance to your face.
  • Elongated face: Circular earrings help to balance the elongated shape of the face, adding volume at the bottom.

Here are some earrings from our collection that we recommend for every type and shape of face.

This is one of the most frequent questions we are asked and although it all depends on each person's taste, we will show you some types of earrings that we would recommend depending on the shape of your face.

If this is your face type, large hoops and geometric or pearl earrings will help break up the symmetry of your face, benefiting your overall features.
