2. Identify your face shape and choose the right earrings

There are 7 general face shapes: Oval, Round, Rectangular, Square, Heart, Triangle, and Diamond. Each of these face shapes will create different looks with the same accessories.

To determine which face shape you have, you should:

1 Pull your hair back and make sure no hair is on your face.

2 Have someone take a picture of you or take a selfie that clearly shows your hairline.

3 Take a look at the following images to determine which face is most similar to yours.

 

Determining Jewelry Based On Face Shape

This section will tell you the recommended style of jewelry to suit your face shape. Remember that these are not absolute, but can be used as an easy guide to choose the right look for your face shape.

Oval: The oval face has curved features with soft edges. This face shape can wear almost every kind of earring, necklace, or accessory.

Round: The round face is soft and curved with a clear circular shape, and is not stretched like the oval face. This face shape is ideal for long, vertical style accessories and jewelry. Long necklaces will help lengthen the look of the round face. You want to try to create long V shapes with your necklaces, and avoid any necklaces that shorten your neck and add width to your face.

Rectangular: This face shape may seem close to an oval but you can tell that the forehead, cheekbones, and chin are similar in length. Your ideal accessories should be ones that can make your face look more oval or round. Earrings that are button style are perfect, and short necklaces that break the vertical lines of the face are ideal.

Square: This face type has a strong jawline, which creates an edge on the corner of your face. This face shape is ideal for large oval hoops or long drop earrings. Necklaces with length and curves are ideal for softening the jawline.

Heart: This face shape has a wide brow and a narrow chin. Ideal jewelry and accessories should be inverted triangular-shapes so that they will create a wider look for your chin and jawline. Necklaces, however, should be shorter to create more width around the jawline.

Triangle: This is the opposite of a heart shaped face. You will want to try to make your forehead appear wider rather than your chin. Studded earrings or ear cuff earrings will be perfect to add more width to your forehead. Necklaces need to be short to soften the jawline.

Diamond: This face shape has large cheekbones and a smaller chin and forehead. This face shape can wear any kind of earrings or necklaces, similar to the oval shape. It is best if the earrings do not add more width to your cheekbones.

3. Several questions to pay attention to when choosing pearl earrings

When choosing pearl earrings, you should pay attention to:

1. Skin tone in order to match your coloring with your pearl color.
2. Choose the style that suits you according to your clothing style and fabric.
3. Combine pearl styles to suit the occasions you need to attend.
4. Try to choose high-quality pearls to enjoy your pearls for a long time.  

Interviews with pearl lovers:

Kristina: "I only suit white pearls. Gold, black and pink are not my colors. In addition, I usually like plain pearl earrings that are not too big when wearing casual clothes. If the pearls are inlaid or have long fringes, they are not good for casual wear. Also, size is important. Pearls are usually about 8mm.  If they are too large, they might be very heavy, and may enlarge my ear hole .”

Jenny: "My suggestion is select pearl earrings that are good quality, because they can be worn for a long time. This way I don't have to worry about discoloration or the pearl earrings becoming dull over time. I bought Angela Q's pearl earrings, to make sure I get high quality pearls that last. Angela Q is also doing Christmas deals! So great for gift ideas!”

Cynthia: "Because my skin has a wheat tone, I suit pearl colors that have a medium or high brightness. I usually wear pearl earrings casually, but sometimes when I attend formal occasions, I have not been able to find a look I like. But, I saw Angela Q's collection by chance, and they really impressed me. The Angela Q collection gives me many styles that I can wear with different clothes."

4. pearl earring price       what is a real pearl earring worth？

1.  How to judge the price of pearl earrings

Pearl type is very important when considering price. Generally, seawater pearls are better than freshwater pearls. However, what is more important is the size, luster, and surface of pearls. Because seawater pearls with flaws or poor color are not as good as flawless freshwater pearls, they must be viewed objectively.  Select pearls with these three qualities, whether sea or freshwater, to find the right one for you. Add your favorite styles. Consider the type of setting, gold and silver will increase the price, as will embellishments such as diamonds and other precious gemstones.

     2.  How much are genuine pearl earrings?

Many people think that pearl earrings are very expensive, and will cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars. This may be true for rare pearl types in high-end settings, but  you can still find many pearl earring sets that are beautiful and affordable. By doing some research you can find a reputable pearl company and buy a pair of very good pearl earrings for a few hundred dollars.

In general, the price of pearl earrings is determined by several factors: freshwater vs seawater, size, roundness, pearlescence, and degree of blemishes. The latter three factors are relatively subjective, and the standards of each merchant are different.  Different merchants will have different standards.  For example, a slight flaw might still be considered flawless by some merchants, and a near circle might be classified as a perfect circle.

5. New trends in men’s pearl earrings

In the past, men have been unwilling to wear pearls. However, today pearls are no longer just for women. Whether as a jewelry piece, or worn on clothing as an artistic accessory, pearls have become a popular part of men’s fashion looks.

Men adorn themselves with fancy pearl styles such as an attractive drop earning. Rapper styles have also incorporated pearls with studs earrings, chokers, and long strands. 

The hip-hop artist A$AP Rocky wears several layered pearl necklaces, and Rocky is also the first rapper to abandon gold and diamond jewelry in his rapper look.  He prefers wearing large and small pearls with multiple strands!

 

Pearls don’t soften Rocky’s rugged look. Pearls set off his style in an interesting contrast with his cool and attractive Rapper identity. The combination of a string of pearls with a single Tahitian black pearl against a simple white shirt is stunning. Pearl strands, a chained strand, and a crucifix on his chest show his original way of wearing pearls. His pearl style is casual, individual, simple, intricate, and appealing.

 

While Harry Styles wasn't the first man to wear pearls, there's no denying that he was the first to bring them to public attention. His most well-known pearl piece is the pearl earrings of the 2019 Met Gala, which shows his love of high fashion and Renaissance aesthetics.  He never takes off his pearl necklace.  He wears it in private and in magazine shoots. Uninhibited, masculine charm, combined with soft pearls, create a daring avant-garde look popular with men everywhere.
