Best Earrings for a Square Face Shape

Curved, rounded earrings soften the angles of a strong jaw.

This guide is for the square face shape: jaw at least 90% of the cheekbone width, with a face length under 1.45 times the cheekbone width.

Try

  • Round hoops and circular drop earrings
  • Teardrops and soft, oval shapes
  • Long, curved dangles that draw the eye down
  • Pearls and studs in round shapes

Skip or adjust

  • Square and geometric earrings that repeat the jaw line
  • Sharp, angular studs and big statement pieces
  • Short, jaw-length earrings that stop at the widest point
