How to Choose the Right Gold Earrings for Your Face Shape

Gold earrings for women are one of the most traditional jewellery pieces to pair with any outfit. But somehow, behind the style or size, comes the choice of finding a design that suits a face shape. The correct earrings can balance the way the features of your face look; they make you beautiful. Here, you will understand how to select the perfect gold earrings for your face shape.

1. Identify your face shape 

Before you decide on earrings, one should first know her face shape. Stand in front of the mirror, pull back the hair behind your ears for you to easily see your face. Then use lipstick or your washable marker to trace the outline of your face on the mirror. Observe the width that is given across your forehead, cheekbones, and jawline. The following are the major face shapes.

- Oval: Even proportions, cheekbones are a little wider, and jawline is slightly round.

- Round: Cheekbones are full, and the jawline is soft.

- Square: Sharp angles are noticed especially at the jaw area.

- Heart: Wide forehead with a narrow chin that can be pointed

- Diamond: The forehead and jaw area will be narrow with wide cheekbones.

- Long (Oblong): A face that's longer than it is wide

Once you have decided the shape of your face, you can make a more informed decision while choosing earrings.

2. Gold Earrings for women with Oval Faces

Oval faces are very versatile and can carry most earring designs due to their balanced proportions. The idea is to focus on the symmetry of the face but add a little drama or width if you so prefer.

Earrings that fit well with oval faces

- Hoops: Mid and large hoops work well with the balance of an oval face.

- Drop Earrings: Long drops do not overwhelm oval faces, especially if they are geometrically shaped.

- Studs: Gold studs in unusual shapes such as squares, triangles, or even diamonds will do the trick while keeping the whole look chic.

3. Gold Earrings for women for Round Faces

Round faces have rounder cheeks and softer jawline. For highlighting the cheekbones and elongating the face, vertical and structured earring additions will create a great look.

The best earring designs for round faces:

- Long Drop Earrings: Drop earrings, particularly those which are vertical with teardrop or linear styles, make your face appear longer and slimmer.

- Chandelier Earrings: Long drop chandelier earrings can be used to create length or provide balance to round features.

- Geometric Shapes: Angular shapes in earrings such as rectangles or triangles can break up roundness and can create more angular features.

Avoid: Big, round hoops as they might highlight the round shape of the face.

4. Gold Earrings for women for Square Faces

Square faces have prominent, angular jawlines, and one wants to create curves or length with earrings to soften the edges.

Perfect earrings for square faces:

Hoops: Oval or large hoops help mute the angles of a square face.

- Drop Earrings: Teardrop or rounded drop earrings will soften up the jaw and elongate the face.

- Chandeliers: Curved chandelier earrings will help in creating a more balanced, feminine look since the sharp angles of a square face soften when one wears sharp earrings.

Avoid: A square or rectangular-shaped earrings can highlight the angle and make them appear sharper.

5. Gold Earrings for women with Heart-Shaped Faces

Heart-shaped faces are wider at the forehead and narrower at the chin. Drawing attention to the lower part of the face helps balance out the proportions here.

The best earring styles for heart-shaped faces are:

Teardrop Earrings: These earrings balance the wider forehead by drawing the eye down to the narrow chin.

Chandelier Earrings: A fuller chandelier earring draws the eye downwards creating balance between the forehead and chin and a wider base.

Hoops: Medium hoops or oval hoops are perfect because they add width to the lower end of the face.

Avoid: Heavy and large earring pieces close to the forehead as it will stress out the width of the forehead

6. Gold Earrings for women for Diamond Faces

Diamond faces have prominent cheekbones and often foreheads and jaws that are narrow. The angles should hopefully soften up, especially where the jaw line and forehead meet.

Best earring for diamond faces: 

Oval or Round Hoops: Soothing round hoops can smoothen sharp angular cheekbones without emphasizing them.

Drop Earrings: Big, long drop earrings that taper to the bottom can elongate the face further and soften the angles of the face.

Studs: Round, soft gold studs can become the epitome of diamond faces as they will not fight your cheekbones but keep eyes on you.

Don't wear: Angular or sharp-edged earrings, as they may highlight those wide cheekbones.

7. Gold Earrings for women for Long (Oblong) Faces

Long faces have the tendency of elongating your face. With that in mind, put on earrings that make your face appear shorter and wider. Long earring would pull your face upwards, giving it a more stretched look.

Hoop and stud earrings for a long face:

Any stud would work - round or square-bringing balance without stretching the face.

Medium hoops or oval-shaped hoops bring width and break up the general length of the face.

- Chandelier Earrings: Drops that are wider at the bottom help add volume around the jaw line, therefore shortening the face.

Avoid: Drop earrings that reach the shoulder as they dramatically draw attention to the length of the face. Opt for more horizontal designs.

8. General Tips For Choosing Gold Earrings for women

The size and style of earrings should be proportional to the face. For example, when you have a small face, avoid large, clunky earrings that could easily dominate the features.

Occasion and Personal Style: You will find, of course, that the occasion for wearing earrings should be complemented by personal style.

Metal Tone: Gold is very adaptable, but probably, you can also consider the skin tone in settling on the precise shade of gold. Yellow gold is maybe more classic or warm, and white gold and rose gold would go great for modern, or soft contrasts according to your skin tone.

Conclusion

Choosing the best gold earrings for your face can make much for the total look. Whether the face is oval, round, square, heart, diamond, or any other shape, there are various styles of gold earrings that can enhance whatever is the best feature and bring balance to a certain style. It is therefore important to know what makes up your face shape so that, given enough choice, one can pick earrings that add definition and balance to every outfit. A perfect pair of gold earrings should be able to stress one's inherent beauty and help him be confident with his jewel selection.
