FACE SHAPE

The popularly known types of face shape are; oval, square, circle, rectangular, oblong, inverted triangle, heart-shaped, diamond and triangle. I had always heard that when purchasing earrings, one needs to take into account their face shape. It was until later that I began to learn that it is just like purchasing clothing or sunglasses, one needs to find the balance. 

So, if you have a round face, for example, you will want to elongate it, but if you have a rectangular face, you will want to create some roundness.

You could always experiment and keep learning your face shape to understand what designs work for you and which don’t. Note what features ‘the designs that work for you have in common. Is it long? Wide width? Geometric Shape? Round? Small or large? 

CULTURAL SYMBOLISM

Traditionally and currently, people get jewelry to represent something significant in their lives. For example, in traditional Maasai culture in Kenya, young girls would wear big beaded loops (imunai) made of beads and strings or long wire. They have a mix of colours with geometric patterns. The loops are usually loosely hanging and worn in both upper parts of the ears. On the other hand, traditional Maasai elders would wear less jewelry to accentuate their achievements as warriors. Among the pieces they would wear are small earrings on their stretched ears that are made of metal. 

In modern culture, people have begun integrating different ideas for their special occasions. Let us know how we make your significant moment in life (birthday, anniversary, etc) special using our brass material. We do combine brass with other materials such as stone, shells, beads or bone. Also, we do engraving.
