You can go for short danglers and baalis as they will add roundness and curves to your face. Apart from this, all kinds of studs will look great on this type of face.

Try to avoid wearing sleek and very long earrings as they will make your face look longer.

Your face is square-shaped if the width of your forehead and jawline are similar. The forehead is also straight along the hairline and the chin is flat.

Hoop, drop and rounded earrings are perfect for you and will balance the angles on your face. Even trendy oversized hoops will make a good option for you. Ditch those square earrings as they will add more width to your face.
