Just as with clothes, jewellery fashions and trends can come and go, and so we can be tempted into buying the latest earring look without considering whether it will suit our facial features and enhance our face shape.
Here is The Opal’s guide on what earrings to wear in order to flatter your natural beauty.
Balance the Look
Silver earrings, whether stud, hoop or drop, may seem an all occasion foolproof earring option, but when choosing what you wear, consider the size of your earlobes.
Our earlobe shape can differ independent of our frame, so try and balance the size of the earring with the ear for a seamless aesthetic. Keeping everything in proportion enhances the attractiveness of both the earring and the ear area.
Long and slender
If your facial shape is rounder, wearing a silver drop earrings can elongate the face and the neckline.
Keep the drop earring slim without extra attachments and features that will bulk out both the earring and your facial look.
All about Love
There’s a lot to love about a heart-shaped face where the top of the head is wider than the lower chin area.
In order to take the attention away from the overall shaping, choosing earrings that have a real sense of identity can draw the eye to the jewellery itself. Not only does this give you the opportunity to express your vibrant personality but it also helps the eyes of others balance what they see when they look at you.
Hoop-la
Sterling silver hoop earrings, whether small, medium or large is a look that many of us choose for both all day wear or evening glamour.
The hoop earring is ideally suited to thinner and longer faces, with the circular nature of the hoop adding a more rounded aesthetic to the face.
Hoop earrings that are oval or heart-shaped can also work just as well.
Oval celebration
If you have more of an oval shaped face, the good news is that almost anything goes. Silver earrings that are studs, hoops, drops and dangles as well as geometric shapes will all work well.
If this is your face shape, it’s time to go earring shopping!
Considering your face shape when buying earrings will help to perfect your day or evening look.
Always consider the size of the ear and earlobe when looking at stud, hoop and long, dangly earrings as well, but remember that wearing jewellery is also a chance to reflect your personality, so try not to limit yourself with your jewellery choices.
Choosing a retailer such as The Opal who have an eye for discerning yet contemporary earring choices means you have plenty of choice and as new stock is added on a regular basis, you will never need to go elsewhere.
