This is the first segment in a multi-part informational series written by Barbara van Look about jewelry selections you should make based on your face shape to enhance and flatter your looks.
Every piece of jewelry includes a variety of elements: colors, styles, and materials. Knowing how different jewelry styles complement your face shape will help you select just the right style for you!
Facial shapes usually fall into one of seven general shapes - oval, round, oblong/rectangular, square, heart/inverted triangle, pearl/triangle, and diamond. To identify your face shape, follow this simple process:
1. Pull your hair back so all hair is completely off your face.
2. Have someone take a picture of you facing straight into the camera with the hairline showing and print it out, or stand in front of a mirror about 1 foot away and look straight in it.
3. If you have a print, outline the face, or if in a mirror, draw directly on the mirror with a wet-erase marker (this can be easily wiped off the mirror with a clean paper towel).
4. Compare the face shape to the images we will show in the next segments and choose the one that matches the closest. Be sure to check the face when smiling as well as at rest. Keep in mind that face shapes can change over the years or with health and weight changes.
After determining your face shape, you can consider the jewelry that best compliments you. Even though large and over-sized jewelry is in style, jewelry selected and worn in proportion to the size and shape of your face and with the correct neckline can balance your facial features and bring out the best in your natural beauty!
