GEMSTONE JEWELRY - Should you match Face Shapes and Jewelry Styles ?


It doesn't matter what Season of the Year it is, one thing to remember is that various styles of Necklaces and Earrings, most of the time, go best with particular face shapes. Here are some suggestions by the "experts", but in the end, remember it all depends on what one likes and what the person you might be giving the gift to wants to wear and what they feel they look best wearing. What "you" like and looks best on you, is not always the best shape and style for the one to whom you are giving a jewelry gift to.

...
OVAL FACE = Necklaces - wear anything from a choker to a “V” necklace, to a long strand of beads. With this face you can pull anything off. Earrings - Once again, you can pull from any look, so don’t be afraid to wear anything you like.
.
ROUND/SQUARE FACE = Necklaces - Your goal is to slim down the face, use long necklaces, stay away from Chokers and large round beads. Earrings - Anything long that draws attention down instead of around is very flattering.
.
RECTANGLE FACE = Necklaces - Opposite of the round face, a rectangular face needs to have width added. Something short with thick beads. Earrings - A button or post style looks best, to shorten the length of the face.
.
HEART FACE = Necklaces - many say chokers look best because it softens the sharp angle of the chin, and if you add double or triple layers is adds width around the neck balancing the thinness and angles of the chin. Earrings - teardrops, long upside down triangles, something to draw attention away from the narrowness of the chin.
.
And as originally said, in the end, no matter what is suggested by the "experts", what is worn is one's own decission to make. Just remember some shapes and colors go much better with your figure, clothing and other accessories, and not with the person you may be giving a gift to. It all depends on how you or that person wishes to stand out -- classy or exotic.
