Which earrings suit which faces? This is a question you have probably asked yourself.

With a unique selection of shapes and styles, our collections of earrings and costume jewelry highlight the beauty of every woman.
How to determine the shape of your face?
Analyze your body type
To choose and wear costume jewelry according to your body type, there is no need to call a personal shopper. Follow our advice and discover which earrings will enhance your face.
To easily identify the shape of your face and know which pair of earrings suits you, you can use a mirror to analyze your reflection or take a photograph. Take a picture or a selfie and draw the main lines defined by your forehead, chin, cheekbones, and the contours of your face. You will immediately notice the shape of your face!
The different face shapes
Is your face as wide as it is long, with a rounded chin and soft curves? You likely have a round face. Enhancing the softness of your features while adding a touch of maturity to your face is probably part of your desires.
If the width and length of your face are equal, and your forehead and jawline are of the same width and quite pronounced, unlike your cheekbones, you have a square face with straight features. Your costume jewelry will help soften your features and balance the angles of your face.
Is your narrow face longer than it is wide? Are your cheekbones, like the angles of your face, prominent and your forehead high? You have an elongated face. While most earring shapes flatter your body type, avoid emphasizing the stretched appearance of your features by skipping overly long dangling earrings.
Enhancing your face with earrings
What earrings for an elongated face?
Hoops, studs, or ear pins all suit long faces! However, choosing wide and short jewelry or small studs will bring a beautiful balance of proportions to your silhouette. If you opt for dangling earrings, do not let them extend beyond your chin. Our fine Silma earrings in turquoise and delicate chains are short enough to flatter elongated faces.
What earrings for a round face?
Does your face have soft, rounded curves and prominent cheekbones that give it an almost childlike appearance? Dangling or elongated earrings will refine and lengthen your face. For a round face, choose fine jewelry and avoid round pearls, overly bulky pieces, or hoops that would accentuate this roundness. Our dangling Claudia studs in semi-precious stones with their small tassel elegantly elongate round faces.
What earrings for a square face?
To soften your features, opt for medium-sized rounded jewelry. Are you wondering which faces are enhanced by hoop earrings? Yours is one of them! Drop earrings or hoops, like those from our Iancura collection in gemstones, are perfect for square faces. These round Plein Soleil earrings in hammered gold metal will suit a square face perfectly! If you prefer a feminine drop shape, this model of Angélique earrings, in openwork gold metal (available as clips, studs, or pierced posts), will enhance your look.
What earrings for a heart-shaped face?
To balance your features, choose earrings with a shape that is the opposite of your face. Narrow studs or earrings that flare at the bottom or are slightly triangular will balance your proportions. These Louise earrings, available with different types of fastenings, highlight a heart-shaped face with colorful cabochons arranged in a delicate mobile. For a reworked ethnic-chic look, fall for this Silma jewelry woven with turquoise stones thanks to its silk filigree and metallic threads.
Choosing earrings based on your face shape allows you to highlight your features and enhance the unique beauty of your face. Emphasize what makes you unique and forget your little complexes with carefully chosen costume jewelry. You will be surprised to discover how much a piece of jewelry can change the appearance of your face!
