There are several shapes to our faces and we don't always know how to choose the most flattering jewelry to accent or highlight our features. There are four face shapes; round, oval, square, and heart.
Oval: If you are lucky enough to have an oval shaped face you can wear almost any type of necklace or earring; mostly because your face is a balanced forehead, chin and proportionate features. Some suggestions would be necklaces with long and short strands; unusual, mixed designs in shapes and textures. For earrings, try bold multiple layer dangle earrings.
Square: Someone with a 
square or balanced angular face is most flattered by wearing jewelry that adds or softens the curves of the face. Try to balance a strong chin with necklaces that have round edged beads to narrow your face. If your face is more rectangular than square, you might try to shorter necklaces. Wear round dangle or hoop earrings that will fall to your jawline to accent and flatter your face.
Heart: Or if your face is wider at the 
forehead and narrow at the chin, you have a heart-shaped face. Suggested jewelry for this type would be one that gives the illusion of width to your jawline. Multi-strand necklaces with horizontal lines will balance out the forehead; with longer single necklaces making the face look narrower. To give a softened look and balance out a point chin, try wearing big, bold round beads in a shorter necklace. For earrings wear something that is just long enough to skim the jawline and moves the eye from side to side to create width.
Round: A round face shape should wear jewelry that creates a more slimming, lengthening effect. Chose longer or angular beaded necklaces that draw your attention down and lengthwise; some with a pendant will automatically draw the eye downwards. Also, wear long dangle earrings to also elongate your face.
Oval: If you are lucky enough to have an oval shaped face you can wear almost any type of necklace or earring; mostly because your face is a balanced forehead, chin and proportionate features. Some suggestions would be necklaces with long and short strands; unusual, mixed designs in shapes and textures. For earrings, try bold multiple layer dangle earrings.
