Which jewelry suits you best is closely linked to your face shape.
With the right choices, you can visually balance your face and enhance your overall appearance.
Osira offers jewelry for every face type – from subtle short necklaces to long pearl clip-on earrings.
We also carry sustainable, durable pearl necklaces and shiny statement earrings.
Determining your face shape is easier than you might think. The steps below will quickly give you a clear idea.
Step 1: Take a good look in the mirror
Pull your hair back so your face is fully visible.
Make sure you look relaxed (don’t smile) so the natural shape of your face is easy to see.
Step 2: Measure your face (or estimate)
Pay attention to four key points: the widest part of your forehead, your cheekbones, the jawline from corner to corner, and the length of your face from hairline to chin.
You can measure this with a measuring tape, but visual comparison often works just as well.
Step 3: Compare the proportions
Round face
With a round face, the length and width are almost the same.
The jawline is soft and rounded, and the cheeks are often fuller.
Square face
The forehead, cheekbones, and jaw are roughly the same width.
The jawline is straight and angular.
Oval face
An oval face is slightly longer than it is wide and naturally well balanced.
The jawline is soft and the hairline is harmonious.
Heart-shaped face
This face shape has a wider forehead and cheekbones, with a narrower or pointed chin.
Long (rectangular) face
The face is clearly longer than it is wide, with narrower sides and a fairly straight jawline.
Extra method: draw the outline of your face on the mirror using lipstick or a washable marker.
The shape you see often gives immediate clarity.
Tip: Are you torn between two shapes? That’s completely normal.
Many people have a combination of face shapes.
Styling advice by face shape
See the tips below as guidelines. Ultimately, it’s about what feels good and what you feel comfortable wearing.
Round face
Long, slim earrings and jewelry with vertical lines make the face appear longer.
Think of drop shapes, straight designs, and V-shaped necklaces.
It’s best to limit large round earrings or short necklaces worn close to the neck.
Square face
Soft shapes bring balance to a strong jawline.
Round or oval earrings and necklaces with rounded pendants often work beautifully.
Angular and very structured shapes can emphasize the jawline even more.
Oval face
This face shape is naturally well balanced. Almost all styles suit you, from statement earrings to short and long necklaces.
Feel free to experiment and let your personal style shine.
Heart-shaped face
Earrings that are wider at the bottom, such as teardrop shapes, help balance the face nicely.
Long, slender earrings and necklaces worn at chest level often work better than short chokers or styles that are wider at the top.
Long face
Horizontal accents create more balance.
Shorter, wider earrings, hoops, and short necklaces or chokers make the face appear slightly shorter.
It’s best to avoid very long, narrow earrings.
Extra tips
When choosing jewelry, also take into account your neckline, shoulder line, clothing style, and hairstyle.
The right jewelry enhances your look without overpowering it.
