How to Choose the Perfect Earrings for Your Face Shape

Choosing the perfect earrings to match your face shape

Ever wondered why some earrings look gorgeous on someone and look kind of average on you? The clue is in your face shape. The right earrings can highlight your best angles, offset your features and add the perfect final touch to any outfit when chosen for your face shape.

For this reason lab grown diamond earrings are an awesome choice, being cheaper than natural diamonds, but just as dazzling. What’s more, you can feel good knowing they are ecologically friendly!

So let’s help you find your perfect match based on your face shape!

Why Face Shape Matters When Choosing Earrings? 

When you choose earrings that go with your natural face shape, everything just seems more balanced. Here is why face shape matters for earrings: 

  • The perfect earring creates a balance with all your facial features

  • They can draw attention to your eyes, jawline, and cheekbones

  • They help soften sharp angles or add definition to softer features

  • Wrong earrings can make a round face look rounder or a long face look even longer

 For example, if you have a round face, these elongated diamond drops from Golden Bird will add beautiful definition and make your face appear longer and more oval-shaped.

1. Round Face 

Your face has soft, curved lines with roughly equal width and length. Your cheeks are the widest part of your face, and you have a gentle, rounded jawline.

Best earring styles for you:

  • Long, dangling earrings that create vertical lines

  • Angular shapes like rectangles or triangles

  • Drop earrings and linear designs

  • Avoid large hoops or round studs that emphasize the roundness

Look for lab grown diamond studs in geometric shapes, like the Bezel Set Oval Lab Diamond Stud Earrings. They're perfect for adding some sharp lines to balance your soft features. These are considered among the best earrings for round face shapes because they create that elegant, elongated look. 

2. Oval Face 

You're lucky - oval faces have balanced proportions with a slightly wider forehead than chin. Your face is longer than it is wide, making it the most versatile face shape.

Best earring styles for you:

  • Almost any earring style works beautifully

  • Hoops, studs, drops, and chandeliers all look great

  • You can experiment with different sizes and shapes

  • Just avoid extremely long earrings that might make your face look too stretched

We at Golden Bird Jewel offer ethical diamond earrings in different styles that would go perfectly well with oval faces. For example, classic diamond studs would work for an everyday look while maintaining that standard of elegance.  

3. Square Face

Your face has a strong, angular jawline with similar width at your forehead, cheeks, and jaw. Your face length and width are fairly equal, creating bold, geometric lines. 

Best earring styles for you:  

  • Soft, curved shapes like hoops and teardrops

  • Round or oval earrings that soften angular features

  • Longer earrings that add length to your face

  • Avoid square or geometric shapes that emphasize the angles

Lab grown diamond earrings in curved designs work beautifully to soften strong jawlines while adding feminine elegance. 

Hoop collections with lab-grown diamonds offer that balance of sparkle and softness. 

4. Heart-Shaped Face

Your forehead is the widest part of your face, with high cheekbones and a narrow, pointed chin. You might have a widow's peak or a broader hairline.

Best earring styles for you:

  • Wider earrings at the bottom to balance your narrow chin

  • Teardrops, chandeliers, and cluster designs

  • Studs and small hoops work well too

  • Avoid long, thin earrings that emphasize the narrow chin

Sustainable diamond jewelry now includes beautiful stud-style lab grown diamond earrings that add width at the bottom of your face, creating balance with a wider forehead.  

5. Diamond-Shaped Face

In this structure, your cheekbones are the widest part of your face. You might have a narrow forehead and chin. You have angular features with distinct cheekbone definition.

Best earring styles for you:

  • Oval or round shapes that soften the angles

  • Studs and small hoops that don't compete with your cheekbones

  • Avoid long, narrow earrings

  • Delicate designs work better than bold, angular ones

Hence, delicate lab grown diamond studs would go perfectly well for those of you with diamond-shaped faces. 

Letting your natural cheekbone be the highlight while also adding just the right amount of sparkle. 

6. Long/Rectangular Face

Your face is longer than wide. You probably have a big forehead with an elongated chin structure. You might have high cheekbones and a narrow overall appearance.

Best earring styles for you:

  • Wide, short earrings that add width to your face

  • Large hoops, clusters, and button-style earrings

  • Avoid long, dangling earrings that make your face look even longer

  • Geometric shapes can work if they're wider than they are tall

When shopping for diamond earrings online, look for wide hoop designs with lab-grown diamonds that add beautiful width to longer faces while keeping the look modern and chic.
