Round faces: longer drop earrings elongate. Long faces: round studs and smaller hoops add width. Heart-shaped faces: teardrop and chandelier styles balance the narrow chin. Oval faces: lucky, almost anything works.

For everyday bracelets, 4-6mm wide is comfortable for most wrists. Slim bangles look delicate but can bend. Thicker cuffs are better for men or for a statement look. If you stack, mix widths for visual interest.
