Large earrings balance the shape of this face. Long earrings that flare at the bottom, elongating styles and long oval shapes can all work. Flat designs are better than fuller three-dimensional puffy styles. On larger fleshier faces, angular earrings that make a statement can look great and convey power and confidence. Avoid round hoops, circular designs and triangles. | |
Big Bold earrings minimize the visual impression of roundness. Angular earrings create a dramatic juxtaposition to the curves. Earrings that lengthen are very complimentary, as are flatter designs. When choosing studs try marquis shape, emerald cut and trilliant designs with simple, elegant settings. Avoid round hoops, puffy, three dimensional designs and small intricate styles. An oval hoop that comes to a point at the bottom that's elongating should work also. | |
