5 earrings that every woman should have in her jewellery collection

Earrings are among the most visible jewellery accessories. They accentuate one’s look and attract the attention of both men and women.
The perfect pair of earrings provide distinction to any outfit, western or ethnic. There is a range of earrings to choose from, to match different outfits, hair styles and face shapes. If you wish to stand out in the crowd, you must choose earrings that suit you best, a pair that not just matches with your outfit but also looks gorgeous on your face.

Let us, identify some of these earring designs that can complement your wardrobe and facial contours.

The Wardrobe: The good thing about studs is that they go with any outfit, formal or semi-formal. Studs with single gems, cluster tops or pearl studs are great for the everyday look. Choose small designs and wear them with dresses.



Facial Outline: Women with oval or oblong faces – with the forehead as wide as the cheekbones and the rest of the face narrow, can look great with studs.



Hoop Earrings:

The Wardrobe: Simple heavy or huge in circumference, loop earrings go great with formals and casuals, particularly with a cute, feminine hairstyle. But because of their size they could also be perfectly styled with your hair let down. Smaller hoops earrings studded with diamonds add a shimmering glitter to your physical appearance. Pick them up for a casual look or with conservative business attire.



Facial Outline: Women with heart-shaped facial outlines, diamond or oval faces, aiming to enhance their jaw lines.

Chandelier Earrings:



The Wardrobe: They are excellent and go well with ethnic dresses. You could also pair them with your casual outfits to show off something very different and distinct. You can opt for contrast colours to accentuate your look.



Facial Outline: Prefer designs that are with wider earrings if you have oval or angular face contour. In a case of an oval or square face, go for long chandelier earrings that will add length to your face.


The Wardrobe: Whether you are wearing a simple kurta, a heavy embroidered saree or a lehenga, jhumkas go with all Indian attire. The only Indian earrings that add charm and grace.

Jhumkas



Facial Outline: Like droplets, Jhumkas compliments any face shape. As mentioned earlier, it is a must have for every Indian woman.

Diamond earrings




Every woman’s radiant glow is when she flaunts her diamonds, rarely noticed with any other stone. No matter where she is from, the aura of diamonds is sure get her the admiration she deserves.

Danglers




The Wardrobe: A casual long dress that is usually made from a flowy fabric or a knitted one with length from ankle to floor-length. Colour and print could vary depending on height, weight, gait and complexion.

Facial Outline: Dangle earrings will work wonders on a round face.

Quick review:



Round-shaped face – If you have fuller cheeks and a circular face, do not opt for hoops, large circular earrings or button studs, which could further emphasize the roundness.




Square-shaped outline face – If you have a face where the width of your forehead, cheeks and jawline are similar, earrings that are medium to long in length and have rounded edges work best – oval shapes, circular earrings, hoops and the like.



Long and narrow face – Choose studs, clustered earrings or short dangles. These look great on a long/ narrow face which emphasise the width of your face.





Oval-shaped face – If your forehead is not too wide and your face narrows down towards the chin then, dangle earrings, triangular earrings or simple studs perfectly suit and complement your lovely cheekbones.




Heart-shaped face – If you have a forehead that is wider than your cheeks and your face narrows toward your chin, you have a heart-shaped face. Chandelier or teardrop earrings look great. Avoid designs with inverted triangle-shaped earrings, as these will completely throw off the balance.
