How to choose the perfect piece of jewelry according to your face shape

When choosing jewelry, many people think about style, color, or price. Yet, one often overlooked criterion can make all the difference: face shape. Like a hairstyle or a pair of glasses, jewelry can enhance facial features… or throw them off balance.

In this article, discover how to choose necklaces and earrings according to your face shape for a harmonious and elegant effect.

1. Round face: refine the lines

A round face has soft features, without sharp angles. The goal is to create an impression of length.

Preferred option:

Long, dangling, thin earrings

V-shaped necklaces or long sautoir necklaces

To avoid:

Imposing Creoles

Choker necklaces

2. Oval face: the ideal shape

The oval face is balanced and can suit almost any style of jewelry.

Preferred option:

All forms are possible

You can dare to wear bold or original pieces.

Advice :
Harmonize the shape of your jewelry with that of your accessories or outfit for a coordinated effect.

3. Square face: soften the features

A square face is characterized by a strong jawline and angular features. It is advisable to choose jewelry that softens these shapes.

Preferred option:

Round or oval earrings

Rounded or flexible necklaces

To avoid:

Geometric jewelry or jewelry with overly strict lines

4. Long or rectangular face: create volume

An elongated face benefits from being visually shortened or balanced by wider or shorter jewelry.

Preferred option:

Short necklaces or bib necklaces

Large or voluminous earrings

To avoid:

Very fine or very long jewelry

5. Heart-shaped or triangular face: rebalance the lower part of the face

This type of face is wider at the forehead and narrower at the chin. The idea is to draw the eye downwards.

Preferred option:

Teardrop or inverted triangular earrings

Short necklaces with a discreet pendant

To avoid:

Accented "V" shaped necklaces
