Best Earrings for a Heart-Shaped Face That Will Make Cupid Look Twice

Best Earrings for a Heart-Shaped Face That Will Make Cupid Look Twice

Why fix a heart when it was never broken? A heart-shaped face already has its own rhythm, a structure that feels both defined and delicate. What makes the difference is how you frame it, and nothing does that better than earrings for a heart-shaped face. 

There are countless ways to frame your face. Studs, hoops, drops, chandeliers, cuffs, climbers. With so many options, it is easy to get lost between pieces that complement your shape and those that compete with it.  

At Kumari, we make earrings that guide the eye with intention. Pieces that work with your natural shape, rather than against it. The right piece does not overwhelm. It draws attention where it belongs, on you.  

The Art of Choosing Earrings That Actually Flatter 

You know what a heart looks like. Not the organ, but the one sketched on cards, doodled in notebooks, and printed across T-shirts. Wide at the top, slimming into a soft point. Now picture that same outline in your reflection. That’s exactly the silhouette your face makes.  

Some of the world’s most admired women, from Reese Witherspoon to Deepika Padukone, flaunt this face shape. It’s a naturally striking look, but one that benefits hugely from earrings that soften the width at the forehead and add a little volume around the jawline. 

The trick is simple: 

• Balance - Earrings can soften or sharpen features. 
• Length & width - Earrings can elongate the face or add fullness where needed. 
• Statement vs. subtle - Depending on the occasion, you can go dramatic or delicate – but it should never fight your face shape. 

Now, let’s zoom in on the heart-shaped face and figure out what works best. 

Spotting a Heart-Shaped Face: Could This Be You? 

Before we get into the details of earrings, it’s important to confirm: Do you actually have a heart-shaped face? 

Here’s how to tell: 

• Your forehead is broader than your jawline. 
• Your cheekbones are usually prominent. 
• Your chin is narrow, often coming to a soft point. 

Just like a great haircut, the right earrings can highlight your strongest features while balancing out proportions. Broadly, faces fall into a few categories, namely, oval, square, round, and, of course, heart-shaped. Each has its unique quirks, and earrings act as the fine-tuning brushstrokes that enhance the overall portrait. 

The Best Earrings for Heart-Shaped Face 

So, what are the best earrings for a heart-shaped face? The golden rule is to create balance. Since heart-shaped faces are broader at the top, earrings that draw attention downward and add width near the chin are your allies. 

Here are the top picks: 

1. Teardrop Earrings 

The ultimate go-to. Their downward curve mirrors your face, slimming the forehead while softening the chin. Gemstone teardrops with bold colours are the epitome of elegance with edge. 

Heart-Face Favourite:  Check out our Celestial Dangler Earrings for the perfect curve that sparkles in every selfie.

2. Chandeliers & Danglers 

Long earrings like chandeliers and danglers with a flare at the bottom balance out the pointed chin beautifully. They add drama and glamour, perfect for ethnic wear during festivals or a cocktail gown at evening events.

3. Hoops (Medium to Large) 

Round hoops help add width around the jawline, giving the illusion of balance. Bold gold hoops add a playful yet powerful touch to modern outfits. 

Heart-Face Favourite:  Our Luxe Loops Gold Hoops Statement Earrings are bold, round, and just the right balance for your sculpted cheekbones.

4. Cluster & Drop Earrings 

Cluster studs that taper into drops draw the eye downward while adding volume. They work brilliantly for day-to-night styling and can shift from office chic to evening sparkle with ease. 

Heart-Face Favourite:  Our Art of Tart Sunkisser Earrings are chic little power moves that go from brunch to after-hours cocktails without missing a beat.

5. Ear Cuffs & Climbers 

Ear cuffs and climbers are the rebels of the jewellery world. For a heart-shaped face, they do double duty: drawing the eye downwards while adding width along the ear line, which softens the taper of the chin. The result? A look that’s bold yet flattering, playful yet polished. 

Heart-Face Favourite:  Dare to be different with our Lightning Edge Diamond Ear Cuffs. They're edgy yet flattering, drawing attention downwards and adding balance with a modern twist.

At Kumari, with our daringly crafted pieces, finding the best earrings for a heart-shaped face is less about rules and more about personality. Love a bit of sparkle? Go for diamonds. Feeling free-spirited? Hoops have your back. Want all eyes on you? Statement danglers never disappoint.
