Why Platinum Is Key To Kelsey Stiegman’s Fine Jewelry Collection
Metal matters.
Jewelry is the icing on top of any outfit, especially when it’s the platinum kind. That bright, white shine gleaming off of a necklace or earrings is exactly why this type of metal is the preferred choice for style queens like Bustle Senior Fashion Editor, Kelsey Stiegman. As a self-described “elder emo,” platinum jewelry speaks to her edgy sense of style. “I tend to gravitate towards chunky platinum jewelry that feels appropriate for a rock concert,” she says. “The bigger the statement, the better.”
When it comes to her favorite types of jewelry, Stiegman says she’s a “big earring girlie.” Give her a pair that will turn heads, and she doesn’t need many other accouterments. “A good statement pair feels so elegant — especially when paired with little other jewelry,” she says.
Another reason why Stiegman loves platinum jewelry is that it’s incredibly easy to maintain. “Whether I’m giving a vintage ring new life or sprucing up a necklace I’ve been neglecting, I’ve spent years of my life polishing tarnished silver jewelry,” she explains. “With platinum, you can skip it. It’s naturally white, so it doesn’t fade or change color over time.”
