The Best Jewelry For A Diamond Face Shape

Per Artisan and Fox, those with diamond-shaped faces should go for hoop earrings or long, curved drop earrings to "soften the jawline." Moreover, per Fire Mountain Gems, diamond shapes can add width to a pointy jaw with teardrop, pear-shaped, or triangle drop earring styles. Even ear cuffs or earrings with outward-facing wings will be perfect to add some delicate roundness to your face.

But what earring styles should diamond-shaped faces avoid? According to Fire Mountain Gems, this shape should steer clear of overly-long styles. As Apostle Boutique explains, "Anything that falls at your jaw or below will make your face appear longer than it is." Noted!

For necklaces, diamond-shaped faces can get away with almost anything — but there are a few styles that really highlight this gorgeous shape. Per Fire Mountain Gems, you could try collar and princess-length necklaces to downplay your angular structure and add some soft curves to the face. Apostle Boutique recommends going for shorter necklaces that add width, such as a rectangle pendant on a choker. Artisan and Fox notes that "a striking pendant can also help with visual harmony."

Just as with earrings, long necklaces may not be the best match for diamond-shaped faces, so it's probably best to avoid rope and opera necklaces, or vertical pendants. 

Still, Heart 2 Heart Fine Jewelry notes that diamond face shapes "can wear almost any shape of jewelry" and still look amazing, so have fun with your choices!
