When it comes to accessorizing, we often focus on the latest trends or personal preferences. However, one aspect that's often overlooked is how different jewellery styles can either accentuate or balance our unique face shapes. Choosing the right jewellery can not only highlight your features but also enhance your overall appearance.
Oval-Shaped Faces
Lucky you! Oval faces are incredibly versatile. You can experiment with various earring and necklace styles, just be mindful of proportionality. Avoid overly long designs that may elongate the face.
Necklaces - Enhance the soft curves of your oval face with gentle, curving shapes like pearls.

Heart-Shaped Faces
Styles that create the impression of a narrower forehead and wider jawline bring balance to a heart-shaped face.
Necklaces - For this unique shape, fan-shaped dangling earrings and short, curved necklaces work best. They minimize a broad forehead and soften the chin.

Earrings - Avoid small stud earrings and long, narrow styles that don't add width. Opt for fan-shaped dangling earrings, which place the widest part of the earring near the jawline, ideal for heart-shaped faces.

Round - Shaped Faces
For a round face, choose styles that create the illusion of a longer face for a flattering look.
Necklaces - Longer, looping necklaces can lengthen the face by drawing the eye downward. Large focal components that form a V shape also create a powerful triangular point that elongates the face. Avoid chokers, as they can shorten the neck and widen the throat.

Square - Shaped Faces
When selecting jewellery, opt for pieces that can soften the angular features and create balance by giving the illusion of a narrower forehead and jawline while elongating the face.
Necklaces - Choose pieces with length and curves to soften the strong jawline. Incorporate large focal elements to draw attention below the neck, creating the appearance of a longer face. Experiment with pendants.

Rectangle - Shaped Faces
To balance a square-shaped face, select jewellery that either shortens the long vertical line or widens the width.
Necklaces - Short necklaces help reduce the appearance of length in a rectangular face. Opt for chokers or necklaces with collar and princess lengths.
