Earrings also have a close proximity with face so could help in equal focus distribution. It should be minimalist on the neck with more radiance on the face.
The cuffs with encrusted diamonds and bold gemstones would also grace the beauties to look apart.

Choose a pair of sapphire earrings according to your face type
February 3rd, 2012
Earrings are quite popular type of jewelry as it helps every woman in enhancing their overall look. A right pair of earrings could define the features of a girl in the best possible manner. They make you look charming and more attractive. When chosen according to the face type they perfectly compliment the looks and sharply enhance the complete style of the wearer.
Before choosing a pair of earrings, you should understand about different face types as it will not only help you in selecting an appropriate pair for you but will better compliment your personality.
Basically there are seven types of face cuts namely round face, oval face, heart-shaped face, square face, long face, diamond face and triangular face.
Like Penelope Cruz and Kate Winslet if you have a round face then lean, long and angular curved line earrings studded with ruby or sapphire are suitable choice for you. Earrings like emerald drops, long dangles or angular diamond and sapphire studs are highly recommended. These will elongate your face and would add a little sparkling angle.
Oval face is characterized by wider forehead and rounded hairline. It’s a classic shape for any style of earrings. Diamond studs, teardrops, dangles and sapphire hoops with different shapes can equally compliment such face.
Gemstone earrings with round angular edge are best for square face which features broad and strong forehead, square hairline and angular jaw. Hoops, drops, long teardrops and multitier dangling earrings are nice option to choose.
If you have a face with narrow jaw line, wide forehead and slightly pointed cheekbone then oval or teardrop sapphire earrings with wide bottom are suitable for you.
A diamond face features broad and strong forehead with angular jaw and square hairline. If you have a diamond face like Nicole Kidman then earrings with straight line and curves will go great. You can also try ruby or sapphire studs and small emerald drops.
Large oval or small circular earrings are best if you have a triangular face like Victoria Beckham. These will help in softening your sharp edges.
For a long or thin face studs and chandeliers are the best. Wear circular, triangular and square shapes to wider the face and avoid flat earrings.
Hope it would be easier to find a subtle pair of earrings after understanding the face type!
