Oval Face: The Perfect Balance
Traits: Balanced proportions, softly rounded forehead and chin.
Goal: Celebrate your versatility—most styles complement your natural symmetry.

Round Face: Create Sleek Silhouettes
Traits: Equal width and length, soft curves.

Square Face: Softening Strong Features
Traits: Defined jawline, broad forehead.
Goal: Balance angular features with soft, fluid shapes.
Why It Works: Square faces have a naturally structured look, so earrings that introduce curves help soften the angles and bring harmony to the face.

Heart-Shaped Face: Balance & Elegance
Traits: Wider forehead, narrower chin.
Goal: Add volume below the cheekbones for a harmonious look.
Why It Works: Earrings that create width at the jawline balance the naturally tapered face shape, drawing the eye downward and creating proportion.
Best Picks:
- Teardrop earrings – Widen the lower half of the face.
- Gemstone drops – Add balance with weight and volume.
- Soft, curved chandeliers – Complement the face’s natural angles.
Our Pick- Mayalu Dangle Earrings

Diamond Face: Accentuating Natural Symmetry
Traits: High cheekbones, narrow forehead and chin.
