Best Fashion Jewelry for your Face Shape

Almost everybody thinks that style and color are only things to consider when choosing fashion jewelry. Think again, ladies! Much like knowing which fashion jewelry compliments your skin tone to enhance your beauty, the same applies to matching fashion jewelry pieces with the shape of your face – pretty features are enhanced and possible flaws are hidden.

Before we go into details, first things first. Determine the shape of your face. There are tons of sources all over the web that will guide you in finding out what your face shape is.

Listed below are guidelines for choosing the best fashion jewelry pieces for the shape of your face.


Round Shaped Face
This face shape requires fashion jewelry that creates the illusion of slimming and elongating your face. Go for long fashion earrings in dangling, drop, or chandelier styles. Fashion necklaces should extend below your neckline. Steer clear from fashion jewelry that would add visual thickness to your neck such as large CZ pendants, pearls, or chokers.


Oval Shaped Face 
If your face shape is oval, consider yourself lucky! Almost any kind of fashion jewelry is likely to look gorgeous on you. Still, take care to stay away from extra-long dangling fashion earrings as they can elongate your face. As for necklaces, chokers were made especially for you. If you have a long neck, swap long fashion necklaces for shorter styles such as a pearl fashion jewelry necklace. 


Square Shaped Face
Go for fashion jewelry that will soften your defined face lines. Circular styles such as hoop fashion earrings will help you fake curves and add roundness to your face. Avoid earrings that are angular in shape. Necklaces should be longer, most preferably accented with a CZ jewelry pendant.


Oblong / Rectangular Shaped Face
Choose fashion jewelry that shortens your neck and face. Stud CZ earrings work best, and as with CZ jewelry, there are a multitude of colors to play around with. Shorter necklaces such as chokers will break the vertical lines of your face shape.


Heart Shaped Face
This face shape needs fashion earrings that are wider at the bottom so as to balance a narrower chin. Drop earrings and chandeliers work wonders. Hoops and dangles are great too, but pass on ultra short earrings. Chokers work amazingly well, and the same for layered fashion necklaces.


Just as the right clothes can accentuate your assets and conceal flaws, so can fashion jewelry! Now you are ready to hit the town – high fashion style!
