KNOW YOUR SHAPE

Stand in front of a mirror such that you can easily reach it without leaning forward. Keep your back straight, your head high, and your shoulders back.

Now trace the outline of your face {excluding the ears} in the mirror using anything non-permanent – a water based sketchpad or even a lipstick/kajal pen.

Compare the outline with the shapes below:

PAIR IT RIGHT

Lets see what experts say are your perfect earring partner –

SQUARE FACE

If you have a strong square face silhouette, your accessory picks need to work on softening your jawline. You should pick round hoops, long teardrops and narrow chandelier earrings to add length and will minimize the width.

Whatever you do avoid wearing studs and solitaires. The only singular bling should be your wedding ring!

ROUND  

Those with a round shape should always think long. Vertical earrings are their best friends as it creates an illusion of length. So, wear long vertical styles or angular designs such as rectangular, trapezoids etc. to flatter and narrow down your face.

TRIANGULAR

If this is your face shape, then you want to focus on widening your forehead. Apt for this shape are earrings where the max width should be at the level of the cheekbones. Small studs and ear cuffs are a good pick for you.

OBLONG

If you have an oblong face, you want to pick styles that hide all that length and play on accentuating the width of your face. For you large bold styles are best, you can even try wide chandeliers with movement to create drama.

OVAL

This is considered the easiest kind of face to accessorize, since it complements most kinds of jewellery. Just keep the size of the earring in balance to the size of the bride, whether you are petite or large.

Hoops, chandeliers, tear drops and other soft shapes best enhance this face shape. Even angular designs are great as it can offset the roundness of an oval face. The only style you need to avoid is long shoulder-grazing earrings, since they tend to lengthen the shape of your face.

DIAMOND

Wear earrings that highlight your cheekbones. Wear earrings that are larger at the bottom as these will help balance your face. To add width to the pointed jaw, wear dangling earrings with teardrops or triangle drops.

HEART  

Accessorizing a heart-shaped face is all about achieving a narrower forehead and widening the jawline. Since this needs more width at the chin, pick hoops, curves, teardrops, triangles and other dangling designs that occupy horizontal space thereby widening the jawline.
