Amanda’s Style File: A Cooldown Is Coming
Bring a cool tone to your summer jewelry with these white metal pieces.
An 18-karat white gold and diamond bracelet from Walters Faith ($95,000)
After years of yellow gold dominating the trends landscape, white metals are poised to make a triumphant return.
Make no mistake, white metal hasn’t gone anywhere but, rather, has become a timeless piece of the trend pie.
There are a variety of reasons that white metals are getting polished up and ready to shine.
One reason is that the disparity in pricing between gold and platinum has made platinum an appealing option for more than just high jewelry.
Another reason is that it is simply time for the trend cycle to come back around.
From silver to platinum, white gold to new emerging metals, a cooldown is coming, and here is an Amanda’s Style File dedicated to white metals.
