When I was looking at diamond rings prior to my engagement, I learned about the different cuts of the diamond. I had wanted my engagement ring to be either a brilliant cut (or a round cut) or a princess cut (square). My boyfriend gave me a brilliant cut diamond ring with two very small heart shaped diamonds on the side. When I was looking for earrings to wear on my wedding day, I chose teardrop pearl earrings. I liked pearls because they were simple and elegant and I chose a teardrop shaped pearl because it complemented my round face.

I had already done my research. Being a professional make-up artist I knew how to accentuate my make up to highlight my features and to hide my flaws. Since I have a round face, the right neckline and earrings can help create the illusion or a more oval face. This is why I chose teardrop shaped pearl earrings. They are shaped like teardrops which are oval but pointed at the top. This along with my v- cut neckline helped me make my wedding day truly elegant and memorable.
