In the previous post, I gave some tips on choosing jewelries to flatter your face shape. Jewelries for the round, oval, Oblong and Square Face shapes were discussed in the last post.
It is now the turn of the heart, triangle and diamond face shapes.
First, The Heart Face Shape: This face shape is characterized by wide brow and narrow chin with width of the face at the forehead and cheekbone greater than the width of the Chin.
This face shapes need short necklaces with curves to reduce the appearance of length at the jawline and diminish the sharp point of the chin. Therefore, choker, collar and princess necklaces will be ideal for this face shape. A bold pendant on a short necklace will also be fine for this face shape since it will create a visual stop under the chin thereby shortening the length of the face.
Any earring with its widest point next to the jawline will be fine. The face needs earrings that will add width at the chin level, so use horizontal lines of hooks, teardrop, curves, triangles and other dangling space filling designs. Avoid studs and any long narrow earring styles.
The Triangle Face Shape: This face shape is the opposite of the heart face shape with narrow brow and wide chin.Compliment this face shape with short necklaces with gentle curves to soften the strong jawline. Princess and Matinee length necklaces are ideal for this face shape. Use pendants with curves and swirl to counter the angular shape of the jaw.
As against the heart shape, this face shape needs earrings that add width to the cheekbone and above. Ear cuffs, and other earrings that curve up the ears are good for this face shape as well as small button (stud) styles with few more narrow dangles earrings styles.
The Diamond Face Shape: They are widest at the cheekbones and equally narrow at the forehead and jawline.
Just like the oval face shape, the diamond face shapes also have the advantage of being able to almost wear any type of necklaces and earrings as long as they are in the right proportion to the person's face. However, avoid overly long earrings as these will lengthen the diamond face shape. (http://www.firemountaingems.com/encyclobeadia/beading_resources.asp?docid=a21b).
The image below summarizes what we have discussed so far.
I mentioned necklace lengths by name a lot in these posts (matinee, collar, princess, opera, etc), you probably do not know what these are. The images below will guide you with the length in inches
