Yes, yes, diamonds are indeed a girl’s best friend, but your face shape is the true stylist to get you the perfect diamond stud earrings!

Just like how outfits can make a difference with how they flatter your figure, the right pair of earrings can truly highlight your best features and make your face sparkle.

The real secret? It’s the size. The right-sized studs can draw attention to your cheekbones, jawlines, or even your eyes, AKA exactly where you need the attention to be. Today we will help you find the perfect pair for your face shape, so get ready to ditch the guesswork and shine bright!

Types of Face Shape

Round Face:

A round face will have full cheeks and a rounded chin. The width and length of the face would be quite equal.

Instead of sharp angles, you would have softer lines that are curvy. People with round faces typically look youthful and have a fuller appearance.

When it comes to earrings, you would want to create an illusion of length which would make up for the lack of angles and balance the face’s natural roundness.

Oval Face:

Score if you have an oval face! Luckily you can rock almost any earring style. Your face is balanced with curves and angles, so any earring will flatter your features.

The length of an oval face is 1.5 times its width. With very prominent high cheekbones, the forehead is slightly less narrow than the jawline. There’s a gentle curve to the face.

Square Face:

If your face has a broad forehead and a strong jawline with straight sides, you might have a square face shape. These features are striking, and some earrings can make them appear even sharper.

The key is to find earrings that soften those angles and create a more balanced look. The opposite of a round face.

Heart Face:

If a wide forehead and cheekbones are gradually tapering into a narrow-pointed chin, it’s in the shape of a heart! Or, an inverted triangle.

Let’s explain it even more simply, the widest part is at the forehead, just like the top of a heart. The chin is more pointed, like the bottom of a heart, which creates a nice contrast with your cheekbones and forehead.

Diamond Face:

A fairly less common shape that tends to be very angular, giving you a very striking appearance. The jawline and forehead are narrower than the cheekbones, which is the widest part of the face and would stand out a lot. The chin is pointed, contributing further to the angular look.

The right accessories have the potential to take the overall look to another level. So, pick up a pair of earrings that will balance the wide cheekbone by adding width to the narrow forehead and jawline.

What is My Face Shape?

It's pretty easy to figure out! The key lies in the proportions and angles of your face. If you've got a measuring tape handy, grab it! We are about to take some measurements!

First, let's focus on your forehead. Measure the widest part of your hairline, going from one temple all the way across to the other. Next, we'll check your cheekbones. Follow the curve from the outer corner of one eye to the other, taking that measurement across your face.

Now, for the jawline. Find the bony angle of your jaw just below your ear, then measure straight up to your chin. Double this number to get your jawline width. Finally, to wrap things up, measure the length of your face from the top of your hairline all the way down to the tip of your chin.

Another method is the mirror test. For this, you would need a mirror, and a lipstick or washable marker.

Make sure your hair is pulled back, then stand in front of the mirror. Close one eye, and then outline your face on the mirror using the marker or the lipstick.

A shape will be visible on the mirror and from there on, you can understand your face shape. You could also take a straight-on photo of your face with hair pulled back and analyse it with the descriptions above, accordingly.

Wondering why you should go through so much hassle? Trust us, it’s worth it! This isn’t just about earrings. When you know what your face shape is, this information can be crucial in choosing a lot of important details, from your glasses to the necklaces you wear to even your hairstyle!

If your face doesn’t fully match one particular shape, no need to worry! It’s normal and you aren’t alone. Just stick to the closest type or mix and match!

Picking the Perfect Size Diamond Stud Earrings

Now that you know what your face shape is, time to choose the right size diamond earring studs

For Round Face Shapes:

We recommend larger studs, maybe 0.5 carats to 2 carats. It will help you create a more elongated appearance.

Diamond cuts like oval, marquise, or pear will add length and angles. Pair them up with a long V-shaped diamond necklace to draw the eye downward as it will create vertical lines that complement the round face.

For Oval Face Shapes:

What doesn’t suit this face shape? Nothing! You can opt for tiny diamond stud earrings to medium-sized studs, around 0.3 to 1 carat.

Almost any earring shape will work but there’s one factor you may want to consider. If your structure of the oval is on the longer side, you need diamond shapes that will balance the length rather than emphasize it. Which cuts are perfect for that? Round, princess, and cushion!

Collar and choker necklaces paired with that will really up your game and make you stand out!

For Square Face Shapes:

Similar to the needs of a round face, you would benefit from larger studs. In this case, it will soften the strong jawline. A gorgeous pair of gold diamond stud earrings would look stunning.

Round, oval, cushion cuts will be able to add some fullness to balance all the angles. Rounded necklaces can be used to further soften the angles.

For Heart Face Shapes:

There are a lot of opposing proportions, medium to large studs will help you balance that. You would need to draw attention away from your forehead.

To do so, choose teardrop or pear-shaped earrings. What they can do is add fullness that the bottom half of your face is missing, drawing attention downward. V-shaped or inverted triangle necklaces can add some width to the jawline.

For Diamond Face Shapes:

For this shape, we require medium-sized studs, 0.5 to 1.5 carats would be ideal! Go for shapes that have curves like round, cushion, and oval.

This helps soften angles and add a certain harmony. Earrings with curves like hoops or droopy styles are amazing too if you want to go for something other than studs. Shorter, collar-style necklaces that sit at the base of the neck can accentuate the cheekbones and jawline.
