Finding your face shape
Essentially our faces come in four different shapes: oval, round, heart shaped and rectangle (oblong). Knowing what face type you have will help you select the jewellery the best suits the way you look.
To find your face shape, simply look in a mirror with your hair pulled back. Your face shape will fall into one of these four general groups, shown on the right.
If your face is an oval, 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.
Look for dangling earrings that are not too long.
Long necklaces look good on a round face - they elongate the look of the face.
Try to find necklaces that have the focus well below your neckline. A necklace with one strong focal element a little above the bust line will look great on you.
For earrings you are the lucky one! Almost all earring types look good on round faces. You might want to try angular shapes such as squares or rectangles, but really you can get away with any earrings.
Sometimes this shape is referred to as a triangle, and because of the sharp angle of the chin, a choker is the best way to go.
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. Shop for earrings that dangle into a triangular shape to even out and lengthen your face.
This face shape is really better described as an oblong. A choker is a good option for people with this face shape, 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.
