Best Earrings for Your Face Shape

Which earrings suit a round, oval, square or heart shaped face? A simple guide to choosing studs, hoops, drops and jhumkas.

Round face

Long drops, angular shapes and linear earrings add length and balance. Avoid very large round hoops that repeat the curve of the face.

Oval face

Almost every style suits an oval face. Try statement jhumkas, triangles or bold hoops.

Square face

Soft, curved shapes like hoops, ovals and pearl drops soften a strong jawline.

Heart shaped face

Earrings that are wider at the bottom, like chandeliers and teardrops, balance a narrower chin.

Consider the occasion too

Studs and small hoops are best for daily wear, while chandeliers and jhumkas belong with festive and bridal outfits.
