How to Choose the Right Earrings for your Face Shape

I love to make jewelry; earrings included. But I have to admit not every style is right for every Woman. Depending on your face shape some earrings types are better than others. The types of earrings you wear should depend on your FACE shape. The four basic shapes are highlighted below. SQUARE SHAPE What is a square-shaped face? - sides of your face will be straight - face will be nearly as wide as it is long - your jawline will be defined, with only a minimum curve                                                                        - strong jawline                                                                      Best EARRINGS for square-shaped face - earrings with rounded designs - elongated earrings, especially under the chin line - dangling earrings - hoop earrings These styles are considered excellent because they add a softness to the facial angles *avoid very wide, bulky, square earrings Famous square-shaped  face celebrities

A couple of weeks ago my friend got married. I was a bridesmaid. First time ever! Unfortunately, I have only one photo of the bride and bridesmaids Even though I left L.A., I can still feature MY PEACE of jewelry WOODEN EARRINGS But first a little bit about where my friend got married The 1880 Union Hotel in Los Alamos, CA The 1880 Union Hotel is an actual hotel from 1880  still holding the same Wild West design theme.  It's located in Wine Country in Santa Barbara County.  An old time saloon is connected next to the Hotel too. The Wedding Party were the only ones staying at the hotel.  It's a small two-story hotel, where each room is decorated differently from the next room. The guest rooms on one side of the hotel  must share a communal toilet and shower, which are separately housed. It was not bad. The two master suites, which are next to each other are  BIG, BEAUTIFUL and overlooks yard. The master suites have a huge balc
