Here is more on how to choose the right diamond earring size for your face shape:

Understand your face shape

Before buying earrings, identify your face shape. Stand in front of a mirror with your hair pulled back and trace the outline of your face on the mirror. You will likely fall into one of these categories:

  • Oval face: Gently rounded hairline and jawline, forehead slightly wider than the chin, and balanced proportions.
  • Round face: Equal width and length, soft, curved edges, and full cheeks.
  • Square face: Broad forehead, strong, angular jawline, and similar width across the face.
  • Heart face: Wider forehead, tapering to a narrow, or sometimes pointed chin.
  • Long/oblong face: Longer than it is wide, with a high forehead and a longer chin.
  • Diamond face: Wide cheekbones, with a narrower forehead and chin.

Earring recommendations for each face shape

Whether you are buying small diamond hoop earrings or a more extravagant design, the secret is to select earring styles and sizes that create balance and enhance your features by either contrasting or complementing your face's natural lines.

For oval faces: Embrace versatility

The symmetry of oval face shapes complements different shapes of earrings.

  • Recommended: Classic diamond studs, elegant drop earrings, and various diamond hoop earrings (from small to large) will all look stunning. You can experiment freely.
  • Size: Proportional to your features; medium to large studs, or medium to large hoops.

For round faces: Elongate with style

The aim for a round face is to add visual length and definition.

  • Recommended: Opt for linear and angular designs. Long danglers, vertical drops, geometric shapes (such as rectangles or ovals), and narrow chandelier earrings that extend below your jawline are ideal.
  • Avoid: Large, circular studs or wide, round earrings that can emphasise the face's roundness.
  • Size: Longer, slender styles are more effective than wide or bulky ones.

For square faces: Soften the angles

To soften a strong jawline and broad forehead, choose earrings with curves and rounded designs.

  • Recommended: Large, medium or small diamond hoop earrings, teardrop earrings, and round studs work wonderfully. Danglers with rounded ends are also a great choice.
  • Avoid: Sharp geometric shapes or square designs that can accentuate your angular features.
  • Size: Medium-sized hoops or drops that add softness without adding too much width.

For heart faces: Balance the proportions

To balance a wider forehead with a narrow chin, select earrings that add width and volume towards the bottom.

  • Recommended: Chandelier earrings, teardrop shapes, pear-shaped drops, and wider bottom danglers are perfect. These styles help draw attention downwards.
  • Avoid: Overly wide studs or earrings that add bulk to the upper part of your face.
  • Size: Styles that are wider at the bottom or offer visual weight towards the chin.

For long/oblong faces: Add width and fullness

The goal for a long face is to create visual width and shorten its appearance.

  • Recommended: Shop for earrings that are wider than they are long. Wide hoops, cluster earrings, and short to medium drop earrings with volume work well. Even small diamond hoop earrings can add subtle width.
  • Avoid: Very long and narrow danglers, as they can further elongate the face.
  • Size: Styles that spread outwards or sit closer to the face to add horizontal balance.

For diamond faces: Highlight the cheekbones

With prominent cheekbones, balance is achieved by adding width at the jawline or softening angles.

  • Recommended: Medium to large hoops, teardrop earrings, danglers with rounded bottoms, and chandelier earrings are flattering.
  • Avoid: Overly long, narrow earrings or sharp, angular designs that might exaggerate your cheekbones.
  • Size: Styles that provide fullness or curves, especially towards the lower half of the face.

 

General tips for choosing diamond earring size

  • Consider proportion: Ensure earrings are proportionate to your earlobes and overall ear size.
  • Neck length and hairstyle: Longer danglers suit long necks, while shorter styles, such as small diamond hoop earrings, are ideal for shorter necks. Updos highlight statement earrings, while for loose hair, ensure earrings are visible.
  • Occasion: Small studs are versatile for daily wear, while larger designs make a bold statement for special events.
  • Personal style and comfort: Ultimately, choose what makes you feel confident and comfortable.
