Once you know the right earring styles for a delicate oval face, it's time to think about the most flattering necklaces. Artisan and Fox recommends creating more roundness with soft, curved necklaces that draw the eye up. Try pearls, ribbon necklaces, and open link chains to play with circular styles and will give the appearance of more width. A rounded or moon-shaped pendant will be super-flattering on you as well.
Apart from your necklace components, you should also think of the best chain lengths. According to Jen Bradley Moms, short necklaces are your best bet, specifically one that's right at the collarbone. Chunky, rounded necklaces look fantastic on you and will add curves and width to your face shape. Cad Cam NYC advises sticking to necklaces "that don't fall below the shoulders." So what kinds of necklaces should you avoid? Long, drop necklaces will only pull your face down and create unneeded length, especially styles that reach past the bust. Moreover, v-shaped necklaces will create a similarly unflattering effect.
As per Fire Mountain Gems, also think of your other features when choosing a necklace: chokers are great for long necks, while drop styles are great for drawing more to the neckline.
