Outfits Hair and Face Shape
Basic Styling Principles
Wondering how to pair your unique handmade earrings with your favorite outfits? Our styling guide will help you create a perfect look for any occasion.
- Match Earrings to Your Outfit
Wearing a shirt? Add gentle pearls for an intellectual, effortless commute vibe.
Wearing a blazer? Go for classic studs—clean, sharp, and full of confidence.
Wearing a long dress? Choose silver wire earrings for a cool, lively, and ethereal effect.
Wearing denim? Pair with big hoops for a cool and casual street-chic look.
Wearing knitwear? Try chain rings for a gentle yet rebellious, niche, and exquisite feel.
Wearing a T-shirt? Opt for resin earrings to look casual, cute, and full of energy.
Wearing an off-shoulder top? Let tassels swing freely for a flirty and fun touch. - Choose Earrings for Your Hairstyle
Bun (Top Knot): Use structured earrings like rectangular drop earrings or linear dangle earrings to add elegance.
Loose Waves: Soft curves and bold lines from fan-shaped or teardrop styles add charm and movement.
Long Straight Hair: Minimalist studs or long drop earrings balance the clean lines of your hair.
Short Hair: Small and dainty studs or ear cuffs let your earrings stand out and make a bold impression.
High Ponytail: Lightweight, playful shapes like round hoops or geometric styles work best with this dynamic look. - Select Earrings for Your Face Shape
Square Face: Add curves and length with long dangling or oval earrings to soften your strong jawline.
Diamond Face: Earrings that draw the eye downward, like long oval drops or teardrop styles, help balance prominent cheekbones.
Long Face: Opt for wider, shorter earrings such as heart-shaped or wide round styles to balance vertical length.
Heart-Shaped Face: Choose earrings with a wider bottom design to add fullness near the jawline and balance proportions.
Round Face: Vertical lines from vessel-shaped or linear styles help elongate and define your face.
The Four Golden Rules
Advanced Styling Mastery
Unlock next-level elegance with these essential principles used by top stylists
1. The Focus Rule (One Statement Piece)
Always highlight only one visual focal point across your entire look.
- If you wear dramatic, oversized earrings, keep necklaces extremely thin or skip them entirely, and keep hand jewelry simple.
- If you wear a bold Statement Necklace, choose small studs or no earrings at all.
- This prevents your whole outfit from looking cluttered, like a Christmas tree.
2. The Layering Rule (Achieve Depth)
Create visual interest by stacking pieces that share a unified style but vary in detail.
- Necklace Layering: Combine necklaces of different lengths and thicknesses. A successful set typically includes a short choker or collar, a medium-length pendant chain, and a long chain.
- Bracelet/Ring Stacking: Mix fine bracelets with a watch, or wear rings of different thicknesses and materials on the same hand. Maintain a clear main piece with supporting accents.
3. The Color Harmony Rule (Visual Cohesion)
Ensure your jewelry echoes a color found elsewhere in your look for a sophisticated, cohesive finish.
- If you carry a brown bag, wear a necklace or bracelet that incorporates brown elements or tones.
- If you wear red lipstick, pair it with small red studs or a ruby ring.
4. The Balance Rule (Visual Weight)
Distribute the visual weight of your accessories evenly to avoid a “top-heavy” or “bottom-heavy” look.
- If you are wearing high-impact pieces on your upper body (like heavy earrings and a necklace), keep ankle jewelry light, or add a few pieces to your wrist to create a balanced feel.
Handmade Earrings Styling FAQ
Have more questions about finding the perfect pair? We’ve got you covered.
Wearing black? Go for gold to add warmth and drama.
Wearing white? Choose silver for a clean, polished look.
Tight collars need balance, so pair them with larger hoops to add highlights and break up the proportion.
Wide necklines look great with small hoops—they’re subtle but noticeable and highlight your collarbones.
Blazers pair best with studs. Their clean, sharp lines create a sleek and powerful look that’s perfect for a professional or stylish outing.
Go for delicate and minimalist pieces. Avoid oversized, noisy, or overly flashy styles. A fine chain necklace, small pearls, simple stud earrings, or a refined watch are timeless choices. Materials like 14K gold, platinum, sterling silver, or designs from niche brands work perfectly.
Focus on elegance and quality. Choose pieces with a sense of sophistication without being too flashy, such as a classic pearl necklace, a sleek watch, or understated diamond or gemstone studs. Gold, silver, and white-gold tones highlight professionalism and reliability.
This is the perfect time to shine and showcase your personality! Opt for statement-making pieces with bold designs, such as chandelier earrings, layered bracelets, statement necklaces, or gemstone rings. Crystals, rhinestones, pearls, and colorful gemstones are party favorites.
Vacations call for fun and relaxed styles. Explore natural and bohemian-inspired pieces made of wood, woven textures, shells, amber, or turquoise. These materials effortlessly complement sunny, carefree holiday vibes.
Essential Tips
The Golden Rules for Your Jewelry
Warm Reminder: Investing in quality and timeless pieces is always worthwhile. As you explore your personal style, keep these key principles in mind.
- Quality Over Quantity: A few carefully chosen classics—like pearl studs, a delicate gold chain, or a fine watch—can elevate your everyday look far more than a drawer full of cheap, easily tarnished jewelry.
- Confidence is the Best Accessory: Jewelry is a way to express yourself. Wear it with confidence, whether you’re heading to a meeting, a dinner, or just a casual coffee, and it will always highlight your unique style.
- Prioritize Comfort and Safety: Make sure earrings are hypoallergenic, necklaces sit comfortably without pinching, and rings aren’t too tight. Remove your jewelry when exercising, sleeping, or doing household chores to prevent damage or loss.
- Care and Maintenance: Regular cleaning and proper storage keep your pieces sparkling. A little attention goes a long way in making sure your jewelry continues to add brilliance to every outfit.
