You’ve probably heard about the white metal renaissance that’s afoot—you may have noticed it firsthand if you watched last Sunday’s Golden Globes show.
So. Many. Metallics.
Silvery shoes! Platinum baubles! Gunmetal dresses! We are in our cool metals era.
It’s too soon to tell if this is simply a trend—a refreshing break from the decade-long reign of yellow gold—or if the warmer metal has really been unseated. Much depends on how jewelers react, with so many notable ones offering most of their covetable goods in yellow gold.
But here is evidence that white metals—platinum, silver, white gold—have already swayed some of the most yellow-gold-heavy jewelers, with styles that even those fully dedicated to yellow might find themselves clamoring for (good thing the two-tone look is in favor).
