Remember that this is just a guide and 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 better on each shape.

What earrings should I wear according to my face shape?

First, we will detail what types of faces exist so that we identify with one or the other and can correctly choose an earring style.

What face shapes exist?

  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 out which shape best suits 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 your forehead to your 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. Measure D: Measure your jaw from one earlobe to the other.

Results :

  • Round face: the length and width of the face are almost equal. That is, the measurements 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 face, with the length greater than the width, but the cheeks are more pronounced.
  • Heart-shaped face: The forehead is wider than the jaw and tapers towards the jaw and chin. This means that B is slightly larger than C and C is larger than D.
  • Square face: The forehead, cheeks and jaw are the same length and width. This means that B, C and D have similar measurements.

What type of earrings are most flattering according to your face?

Here are some general tips to help you choose the right type of earrings for your face:

  • Round face: Long, narrow earrings will help you visually lengthen your face, balancing the circular shape.
  • Oval Face: Earrings of any shape and size work well with an oval face due to their balanced shape.
  • Heart-shaped face: Drop-shaped or tear-shaped earrings are a good option as they will bring balance to your face.
  • Square face: Drop or tear-shaped earrings are a good option as they will bring balance to your face.
  • Elongated face: Circular earrings help balance the elongated shape of the face, adding volume to the lower part.

Below we will show you some earrings from our collection that we recommend for each type and shape of face.

Which earrings suit me best?

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

Earrings for round face

If you identify with this type of face, we recommend choosing long but thin earrings. They will help you stylize your features.

Earrings for oval face

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

Earrings for face diamond or heart

In addition to drop or teardrop earrings, X-shaped earrings are a good option, which will soften the natural narrowing of the face. That said, statement earrings will be your best bet.
