Jewellery and your face shape
 
 
Round Shape Face

    *Full-looking face with fullness at or below the cheeks, a round chin and hairline. Widest point is at the cheeks and ears. A round face has a full appearance with the width of the face being about the same as the length.

    *A round face needs a necklace that adds length to your look. A longer or T-style necklace flatters a round face. Long necklaces will give the illusion of length. Try to find necklaces that are 28"-32", or that have the focus well below your neckline. Avoid chokers or short necklaces, & also avoid large stones or pearls. These styles add a visual thickness to the neck.  Perfect for a round face is a deep plunging neckline, try a necklace with one strong focal element a little above the bust line it will look great on you.    *For earrings you are the lucky one! Almost all earring types look good on this face shape. You might want to try angular shapes such as squares or rectangles, but really you can get away with anything!

Square Shape Face


     *A strong, square jawline & usually an equally square hairline. The width of your cheeks & forehead will be similar, with your face appearing longer than it is wide.
     *The square face needs length & softness. A T-style or a simple strand necklace that hang a little longer would be perfect.

 Diamond Shape Face



     *Widest at the cheekbones, & narrow equally at the forehead & jaw line.

     *A diamond shape can carry any style.
     *Drop earrings especially look beautiful with a diamond face.

Heart Shape Face


     *Your face is fuller & wider at the temples & hairline, tapering at the cheeks, down to a small delicate chin.
    *A heart shape face looks lovely with a choker, or a double or triple strand necklace.  By creating fullness at the neck with the right necklace, you can balance the wider eye & cheekbone area with the delicate chin of the heart shaped face. If you like the look of a longer necklace consider getting a long wrap necklace that will circle the neck twice, once at 16" or 17" and again at a longer 26"-30" length.
     *Dangle earrings will be a good choice for you.  Try earrings that dangle into a triangular shape to even out and lengthen your face.

 

 

Heart face celebrities: Scarlet Johanson, Claudia Schiffer, Michelle Pfeiffer, Naomi Campbell, Lisa Kudrow


 
Oval Shape Face

     *Slightly narrower at the jawline than at the temples. A graceful taper from cheek to chin, with a gently rounded hairline.
     *An oval face is generally accepted as the perfect face shape & can wear anything.
     *A choker will emphasize a long neck; a long strand of pearls will lengthen your torso, or a low dangling necklace will look great with a low cut neckline.
     *Triangular shaped earrings will look great with an oval face. Look for dangling earrings that are not too long.

Rectangular Shape Face

 

 

     *Long & slender, about the same width at the forehead & just below the cheekbones. Narrow chin or forehead.
     *A rectangle face needs softening & width.
Shorter necklaces work nicely.

Oblong Shape Face
 

      *An oblong face is enhanced by a choker style necklace.   A choker helps to soften the ‘vertical line’ that can occur, especially if you also have a long neck. Look for bold necklaces in the 16" length. Another option for this face shape is a rounded longer necklace. Look for a necklace that keeps a round shape, like one made from memory wire.
      *Earrings should be short and bold. Lots of drama and colour will look great on you.

 Triangular Shape Face

     *A dominant jawline that tapers or narrows toward the cheekbones & temples.
A triangle face is similar to a heart shape, but with corners & angles. You can match the angles of your face for impact or counterbalance them for softness.
    *Avoid necklaces that end with a point.
