Choosing the right pair of gold earrings can be tricky, but it need not be. While there are so many different styles and designs to choose from, you can easily find which ones best suit your face shape – oval, round, square, or heart-shaped.
There are gold earrings that come in various designs. The Layla Amazing Gold Stud Earrings are perfectly round, while the Bella Cutout Gold Drop Earrings fall well below the earlobes. Then, you have the danglers like the Elegant Gingko Diamond Sui Dhaga earrings.
But first, you have to determine your face shape. Is your face oval, round, square, or heart-shaped? Once you know the shape of your face, you can start to narrow down your choices.
Do you know how to find out your face’s shape?
There are a few key things to look for when determining your face shape – the width of your forehead, your jaw, and the length of your face. Using these measurements, you can then begin to narrow down which of the seven main face shapes you fall into.
- Forehead: If your forehead is wider than your jaw, you have a wide forehead.
- Jaw: If your jaw is wider than your forehead, you have a wide jaw.
- Face Length: If your face is longer than it is wide, you have a long face.
Now that you know which features to look at, let’s take a closer look at each of the seven main face shapes:
Round: A round face is defined by full cheeks and a soft, curved jawline. If your face is as long as it is wide, and you have few angles, you likely have a round face.
Oval: An oval face is slightly longer than it is wide, with a gently rounded jawline. If your face is longer and you have a gentle curve to your jaw, you likely have an oval face.
Square: A square face has an angular and strong-looking jawline. If your face is as long as it is wide, and you have sharp angles to your jaw, you likely have a square face.
Oblong: An oblong face is almost like an oval shape but with a straight jawline. If your face is much longer than it is wide, and you have few angles to your jaw, you likely have an oblong face.
Diamond: A diamond face is defined by high cheekbones, narrow forehead, and jawline. It would be widest at the cheekbones and narrowest at the forehead and jaw, and you likely have a diamond face.
Heart: A heart face is defined by a wide forehead and a narrow chin. If your face is widest at the forehead and narrowest at the chin, you likely have a heart face.
Triangle: A triangle face is defined by a narrow forehead and a wide jawline. If your face is widest at the jaw and narrowest at the forehead, you likely have a triangle face.
Once you’ve considered your face shape, you can start thinking about the style of earrings you like. Do you prefer studs, hoops, or dangly earrings? Do you like your earrings to be understated or more dramatic? Once you’ve considered all of these factors, you should have a good idea of which gold earrings will best suit your face shape.
Here are a few examples according to face shape:
You’re lucky if you have an oval face because almost any earring style will look good on you. The Mishti Vibrant Gemstone Stud Earrings will surely make you stand out. However, avoid earrings that are too small or delicate, as they can get lost on your face.
If your face is round, you might want to avoid big, chunky earrings that will make your face look even rounder. Look for long and dangly earrings, like the Piku Diamond Sui Dhaga Earrings.
Square faces can generally carry off almost any style of earring, but avoid anything that is too dainty or delicate. Avoid angular earrings that will accentuate the squareness of your face. You can go for the Scarlet Gemstone Stud Earrings.
If you have a heart-shaped face, avoid earrings that are too pointy or sharp. Stick with softer, more rounded shapes to balance out your face. The Aleeza Bloom Gemstone Stud Earrings will suit your perfectly.
Most women have some idea of what looks good, and the above tips can help clarify it further. But, occasionally, you just have to go with your instinct and pick the ones you like. Your innate sense of style and confidence will help you carry off any gold earrings you wear. Stores like CaratLane allow you to try them on even when shopping online. You may find a design you can’t resist! Don’t let theories on face shapes limit your choices.
