Earrings have been an integral part of jewelry collections for thousands of years and are undoubtedly one of the most multifaceted accessories. They add an individual touch to any outfit and are masterful at subtly accentuating one's own style. But they are far more than just stylish details - they embody emotions and preferences, reflect stories and traditions, and are an expression of our identity. Reason enough that we at MEISSEN are also passionate about earrings. And this with tradition: Already since 1714, only a few years after the foundation of the manufactory, so-called gallantry goods were produced with the white gold and other noble materials under the guidance of the royal court jeweler and goldsmith Johann Jacob Irminger. To this day, we produce jewelry with porcelain and have numerous collections in our portfolio - such as the "Pearl Collection", the "Bloom Collection" or the "1739 Royal Blossom" collection with the iconic snowball blossoms.

The choice in the segment of ear jewelry is huge. Therefore, it is all the more important to have a guide or a few clues on how to succeed in discovering exactly the earrings that perfectly suit you. We show you which factors significantly influence the choice for the right ear jewelry.


Face shape:

Before choosing a pair of earrings, it is advisable to consider your face shape. Four main types can be distinguished: round, heart-shaped, oval and angular. Each of these types requires an individual approach when choosing the perfect earrings.

A round face shows soft contours, with cheekbones marking the widest part. To create a charming contrast, round earrings should be avoided, while slender, elongated models, such as the earrings from the "Ohrringe aus der „1739 Royal Blossom Bouquet“ collection, should be preferred. Geometric shapes such as hexagons are able to cleverly balance the gentle curves and add a modern nuance to your look.

For a heart-shaped face, the contours run from a wide forehead to a tapered chin. Here, statement earrings and medium-sized hoop earrings, such as the hoop earrings from the "1722 Swords Pavé" collection or the earrings from the "Bloom Collection" are suitable for drawing the focus to the lower part of the face. Make sure the earrings are not too short to create a harmonious overall look.
