The same is true with other face shapes; a long, rectangular face should stay away from long, dangling earrings and choose smaller studs instead. Square faces need the softness of round or hoop earrings and heart shaped faces are complimented with triangular shapes with a wide base that contrasts a narrow chin.
CHOOSING A NECKLACE
Are you tall? Average? Petite? Your choice of necklace can minimize or emphasize your size. If you want to create or emphasize a taller appearance choose longer necklaces and V shapes. A necklace that falls past the bustline but above the waist will elongate while a choker style or shorter U shaped necklace resting on the breast bone will shorten your appearance.
The size of your necklace should also be considered. Fuller figures can compliment their proportions with larger, chunkier pieces that would overwhelm an individual with a smaller frame.
CHOOSING WHAT YOU LOVE
While these guidelines may influence the type of jewelry you select you can be sure that there are many, many choices for all tastes and occasions regardless of your shape or size.
Above all you should select jewelry you love to wear. Jewelry lasts a lifetime and should always feel good to wear, so ultimately make a decision based on what makes you FEEL wonderful.

I heard that button style earings are going to be the must-have of the new season - I wonder what to do with that bunch of long and dangling ones I got this winter :)
Don’t you worry, in a year or so those long earings will come up again - fashion always moves around the same things, that’s for sure
As for jewelry, I always get classic things so that they are never out of fashion - that’s the sound advice I got from one old lady and I must admit I never regretted following it!
