HOW TO PICK THE PERFECT
EARRINGS
At Yvel, we believe earrings are best
selected using the following criteria:
Earrings are the perfect complement to a
woman’s beautiful smile. Yet selecting the
perfect pair of earrings can be a daunting task for many women. So many lovely
pairs to choose from!
(A)
Face Shape
(B)
In the salon world, ladies’ faces (A) catare
egorized by shape – oblong, oval, round,
heart-shaped, square, rectangular, diamond,
triangular, etc. These shapes help determine the most flattering hair styles, as well
as the most flattering earring styles.

Oblong
Oval
Rectangle
Inverted Triangle
(C)
Longer face shapes like the oblong, oval,
rectangular or inverted triangle faces, which
have a longer distance from forehead to
chin, often look best with lengthy drop or
dangle earrings. Using a long drop earring
accents the shape of the face, as opposed
to working against it, thereby creating a
more flattering overall look. Don’t be afraid
to be bold – go for shoulder dusters and
oversized hoops or chandelier styles with
more linear designs. (A)

Shorter face shapes like round and
triangle faces tend to look better with
button or short drop earrings. Perhaps a
single baroque pearl clip or a small stone
drop, maybe even a medium sized hoop
earring. Ladies with more petite face
shapes should make sure the earring does
not drop below the chin. Keeping the
earring short and high flatters the face and
brings attention up to the face as the lady
is talking. Only use petite chandelier styles
for shorter faces. (B)
Wider face shapes like the diamond,
triangle, square and inverted triangle often
have prominent cheek bones, which lead
the eye up naturally toward the eyes
and ears. These ladies can get by with
statement earrings – large chandeliers,
oversized hoops or wider drop styles. (C)
