Round Face

Round faces lack angles and length; therefore, opting for angular and lengthy earrings will add this element to the face.

Dangling and teardrop earrings will complement a round face shape. It will help elongate the face and provide the angles it doesn’t have.

A breath-taking choice, the Rubellite Emerald and Diamond Drop Earrings are the perfect combination of angles with a drop design. A mix of rubies, emeralds and diamonds, this design has a lot going on, providing the ideal design to elongate the face while introducing angles with differing shapes.

Oval Face

Oval faces are the most flexible when it comes to jewellery options as they suit most earring shapes. A versatile face shape means that the choice is yours when it comes to earrings.

Depending on the style you desire, you can go for a dramatic look with drop earrings, or you can go for a classic subtle style with studs.

For a style that exudes simplicity, the Cushion Cluster Diamond Studs is the ultimate look. This 18kt gold design features a cluster of cushion cut diamonds surrounded by a halo of round brilliants. Providing a quick sparkle, these studs are a flexible design that can be worn from work to dinner.

Square Face

With sharp jawlines and a broad face, you will want to soften your striking features with long and round earrings.

Long, rounded earring designs will elongate the face and will balance your angular features, providing a smoothening effect.

The Oval Sapphire with Diamond Double Halo Drop Earrings is the ultimate pair for a square face. A drop earring with rounded halos and an oval sapphire, the endless rounded edges will provide a softer impact on the face, achieving a balance.

Triangle Face

If you have a triangle face, opt for long and slim earrings. You want to avoid adding any bulk to the face.

Subtle hoops and small teardrops will do the trick to balance a triangle face. These are best as they complement the jawline without making it appear broader.

Incredibly slim, the Bow Shaped Round Diamond Earrings are a stunning choice. A bow design with long dainty diamond strands dropping down, these are as thin as they come. The row of diamonds will provide sparkle without appearing too extravagant.

Heart Shaped Face

With a heart-shaped face, the aim is to find a pair of earrings that will help balance the top and bottom of the face. The best option is adding an earring with a wider bottom.

Going for an earring design with a thin top and broader bottom will help add shape to the lower half of a heart-shaped face, balancing it with the heavier top. A tear-drop shape design is the ultimate example.

Providing the perfect balance, the Pear Morganite with Round Diamond Halo Drop Earrings are ideal for those wanting to balance out a heart face. Starting fine at the top, two large pear-cut morganites drop-down, mirroring the heart-shaped face. A stunning mix of white diamond rose gold and morganite; it is a flattering choice that can’t go wrong.

Diamond Face

A tricky shape, diamond faces have the challenge of a mix between narrow and wide. With a long face shape, you will want to give long earring designs a miss.

Instead, you will want to go for shapes that complement a diamond face, such as wider earring styles.

Short and sweet, the White Gold Princess Diamond Studs are a great choice. A stud design doesn’t provide any length, but its square figure has an unmissable broad presence. Four princess-cut diamonds in each earring will surely deliver all the sparkles you need for any event.
