Handmade earrings to highlight your natural beauty

Choosing the perfect earrings isn't just a matter of taste; it's about understanding which shape, size, and style harmonize with your face shape. When it comes to handmade earrings , each piece further enhances that personal beauty, because handcrafted jewelry has something that makes it unique: it's authentic, personal, and tells a story .

At Aktual – my artisan jewelry workshop in Madrid , with shops in Barrio Palacio and Barrio Retiro – I always recommend to my clients what is truly flattering.
Here's the ultimate guide to finding your ideal earrings according to your face shape.

1. Round face

Round faces seek to visually lengthen.

Ideal earrings:

Long, thin earrings

Elongated shapes (teardrop, vertical lines)

Geometric or elongated designs

Minimalist styles

Avoid:

Large round earrings that enhance the shape.

Aktual's recommendations:

Full Moon Earrings (named for their stylized brass line)

Aurora , which create a visual fall and stylize

2. Oval face

The “balanced” face: almost everything looks good on you.

Ideal earrings:

Medium or large hoops

dangle earrings of any length

Organic or irregular shapes

Handcrafted designs with stone

Avoid:

There are no strict rules, everything is fine.

Aktual's recommendations:

Crimson Dawn

Moon Flower (for the little ones and the big ones)

3. Square face

This type of face has a strong jawline. The idea is to soften it.

Ideal earrings:

Rounded designs

Large hoops

Oval shapes

Curved earrings made of resin or brass

Avoid:

Earrings that are too square or angular.

Aktual's recommendations:

Golden Reflection

Hand-painted resin earrings (they soften very much)

4. Rectangular or elongated face

Here we aim to balance the length of the face.

Ideal earrings:

Thick hoops

Round earrings

Small or medium-sized pieces

Circular geometric designs

Avoid:

Slopes that are too long or vertical.

Aktual's recommendations:

Handmade brass hoops

5. Heart face

Wide forehead and narrow chin. The lower body needs to be balanced.

Ideal earrings:

Teardrop-shaped models

Earrings that add volume at the bottom

Inverted triangular silhouettes

Handcrafted designs with stones in the lower area

Avoid:

Very voluminous earrings at the top.

Aktual's recommendations:

Crimson Dawn

Earrings with large donuts like Aurora

6. Diamond face

Prominent cheekbones and a narrow forehead and jaw.

Ideal earrings:

Medium or large hoops

Delicate designs near the ear

Rounded shapes

Avoid:

Slopes that are too sharp.

Aktual's recommendations:

Rounded pieces with painted resin

7. Triangular face

Prominent jaw and narrow forehead.
