Your Face Your Jewelry 4 (Jewelry For Your Face Shape 2)

Hello, I am back!! Hope your day was Fine.

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).

Your Face... Your Jewelry Part 2 (Know What Face Shape You Have Got)

Now we need to do some calculation to determine your face shape.

1. Determining Face Shape Using a Measuring Tape
The measurements of the followings will be needed:

• The Forehead
• The Cheeks 
• The Jaw

Forehead: Measure across the forehead at the widest point

Cheeks: Measure the widest length across the cheekbone just a little past the outer corner of your eyes over your nose bridge to the other cheekbone

Jaw: Measure the jawline at its widest point usually an inch below the bottom of the ear to your chin. Multiply the result by two to get the jaw-to-jaw length.

Now, measure the length of your face, place the tape just under the eyes and measure from ear to ear to get the horizontal length of your face.

To get the horizontal length of your face, place the tape at the top of your forehead at your hairline and measure to your chin.

It is high time we determined your face shape now that you have all the measurement needed.

Oblong Faces are longer than they are wide. They have fairly similar measurements in terms of cheek, forehead, and jawline 

Heart Faces are defined by upside down shape of the face which results from having a relatively pointy chin and medium to wide forehead and cheek measurement. They are just a little longer than they are wide at the cheeks

Square Faces are about as long as they are wide. Cheek and  length are within an inch or two of  each other.

Oval Faces are somewhat similar to an inverted egg shape. Forehead is slightly wider than the jawline with a gently rounded chin.

Round Faces are also about as wide as they are long like square face but they have relatively small forehead and small curved jawline.

Triangular Faces are the opposite of heart-shaped faces with long, wide, square jawlines and relatively thin foreheads.

Diamond Faces are wider at the cheekbones. They are somewhat longer than they are wide with pointed chin.They have cheek measurements greater than forehead and jaw measurements.

Now, you most probably know where you belong in the face shape categories. Please refer to the image in the previous post to see an outline of the different face shapes.
