Why Editor Stephanie Sanchez Prefers Platinum For Every Piece Of Jewelry

When it comes to styling an outfit, jewelry is essential. Many opt for gold, others stick to silver, and some prefer to mix the two. For Stephanie Sanchez, the Fashion and Accessories Market Editor at BDG, it’s all about platinum jewelry. Sanchez’s eclectic wardrobe consists of everything from oversized jeans and T-shirts to mini skirts and kitten heels, and platinum jewelry is versatile enough to go with any of her looks.

Sanchez’s favorite jewelry pieces are hoop earrings and necklaces. “I have a nameplate and a pendant necklace from my mom that I almost never take off,” she says. “I like piling on different types of necklaces with those two pieces to add personality to an outfit.” And while she grew up exclusively wearing gold, she began incorporating platinum jewelry with her existing favorites. “It may sound tricky to wear mixed metals, but I love how effortless and unique it looks. It also makes the transition to a different metal less intense,” she says.

One of the major reasons why Sanchez reaches for platinum jewelry is its durability compared to other metals. “I show my jewelry a lot of tough love,” she says. “I sometimes shower, sleep, and swim in my jewelry (a cardinal sin, I know) and platinum jewelry allows me to do that without damaging it.” Ahead, see Sanchez’s favorite platinum picks, and learn more about the benefits of this precious metal on PlatinumJewelry.com.
