Platinum jewellery can bring an "outfit to a new level"

Women can bring an "outfit to a new level" by adding platinum jewellery to their look, according to a fashion website.

Statement earrings, bracelets, rings and pendants are all pieces of jewellery that can breathe life into their appearance and add a focal point to what somebody is wearing.

Michelle LaFrance, writing for The Seattle Times, said that those who have cool tones of garments and skin could wear platinum jewellery to compliment one another.

She advised that "pairing a sheath dress or shapely little black dress with a bold necklace is a great look" and that a pendant "can be passed down from generation to generation as an heirloom piece is a lovely piece of jewellery to own".

Platinum jewellery is becoming increasingly sought after as more pieces are put up for auction and snapped up quickly.
