Finding the right pair of earrings is like finding the perfect pair of shoes—it can instantly elevate your look. At Shan&Co, we believe earrings should complement your natural beauty and reflect your unique style. But with so many stunning designs to choose from, how do you know which ones will really make you shine? The answer is: consider your face shape.

Whether you’re all about dainty hoops or bold statement pieces, here’s your ultimate guide to choosing the perfect earrings for your face shape, so you’ll always step out looking flawless.

    Oval Face Shape: The "Anything Goes" Shape

      Lucky you—if you have an oval face, you can pull off pretty much any earring style. The balanced proportions of an oval face mean you’ve got the freedom to experiment. Want to rock something subtle or go for a bold, standout piece? You do you!

      Shan&Co Favourites:
      •  Minimalist Dotted Hoops: These beaded beauties in gold vermeil or sterling silver are effortlessly chic and perfect for day-to-night transitions.
      •  Olive Leaf Huggies: With a delicate leaf design and subtle sparkle, these huggies add a touch of whimsy without overpowering your look.

      Round Face Shape: Lengthen and Define

      If your face is round, the key is to add length and create a little definition. Elongated, angular styles work wonders by adding vertical lines to balance your natural curves. Skip the round styles, though—they’ll only emphasize the roundness of your face.

      Shan&Co Favorites:
      •  Long Chain Threader Earrings: These tassel dangles are perfect for drawing the eye downward, adding elegance and a bit of drama to your look.
      • Emerald Shamrock Studs: The vertical design of these dainty studs adds length while keeping things playful and luxe.

       Square Face Shape: Soften Those Angles

      With a square face, you’ve got striking angles—hello, jawline! To soften things up a bit, opt for earrings that have curves or rounded shapes. Think hoops, ovals, and any style that adds a bit of flow to your features.

      Shan&Co Favorites:

       Heart Face Shape: Balance and Highlight

      Heart-shaped faces tend to have a wider forehead and a more narrow chin. To balance this out, go for earrings that are wider at the bottom—like teardrops or chandeliers. This will help fill out the lower part of your face and create a more harmonious look.


      Shan&Co Favorites:

      • Starburst Screw Emerald Earrings: With their bold, yet refined design, these earrings add a little flair where it’s needed most.
      • Chunky CZ Paved Hoops: These thick, glamorous huggies draw attention downward, making them perfect for balancing out your stunning heart-shaped features.

      Diamond Face Shape: Balance Those Cheekbones

      Diamond face shapes are all about those high cheekbones (lucky you!). The trick here is to soften the angles and bring balance to your look. Go for earrings that have some width at the bottom to complement your face shape.

      Long Face Shape: Add Some Width

      If you have a long face, your goal is to add width and avoid styles that further elongate your face. Round, clustered, or shorter styles will do the trick—anything that adds balance and dimension to your look.

      Shan&Co Favorites:

      • Starburst Stud Earrings: These celestial-inspired studs add a pop of width, balancing out your long face shape with a dreamy sparkle.
      • Minimalist Basic Huggies: These sleek huggies are understated yet stylish, adding width without overwhelming your look.
