CHIC TOP FIVE JEWELRY ESSENTIALS: It is essential to look for pieces that sidestep trends, stand the test of time, and look fantastic on you. 1. THE GOLD HOOPS Hoops are essential to every woman’s jewelry inventory. They can be dressed up or down, worn day or night and year around. The perfect hoop can be worn with suits and set a very professional tone in the office and can look so fabulous with your swankiest cocktail dress. It’s a must-have accessory and you must absolutely find the perfect pair that works for you! 2. THE BANGLE(S) This glittering arm candy accessory is flirtatious when worn in multiples, and simply sophisticated on its own. Unadorned rounds of fine or fashion yellow gold bangles are the classic choice and will compliment anything from jeans to ball gowns. Solid gold or silver bracelets with or without Swarovski crystals or semi-precious stones can totally change your style! 3. THE STATEMENT NECKLACE Nothing polishes up an outfit more than a unique and individual statement necklace. This necklace works day and night. It can have so much personality and style that you might decide that it's your signature. Never, never, never try to match other accessories with your statement necklace. It shouldn't be possible! 4. THE CHANDELIER EARRINGS You can’t get better ear-bling than these drops of incandescence. Whether sparkling with precious or semi-precious stones, 24k, 18k, or 14k gold or more affordable fashion pieces, cocktail earrings are de rigueur for the well-stocked jewelry box. Styles that work for you can range from simple to “wow.” Don’t hesitate to wear them to walking to the store, marching in to work, or strolling out to dinner. You never know you might meet! 5. THE COCKTAIL RING Of all the essentials above, the cocktail ring is currently the trendiest, but these bold statement pieces don’t belong to any single season’s roster. Women have always wanted at least one statement ring in their collection, a signature piece that makes an impact and starts conversations!   And  of course you can find all these essentials at PLATINO!

"In order to be irreplaceable, one must always be different." - CoCo Chanel Step in to PLATINO to find the latest in leather designer handbags by: BOTKIER CARLOS FALCHI CATE ADAIR CHRISTOPHER KON DONALD PLINER FRANCESCO BIASIA JAMAH LOCKHEART SONDRA ROBERTS ZINA EVA THE FACTS ABOUT THE TOP 3 HANDBAG STYLES ALWAYS ON THE FASHION TREND The style of a designer handbag is one of the main reasons why this particular fashion accessory is fun to shop for. There are so many different styles of handbags to choose from that is why it's so hard to choose just one handbag. Every outfit calls for different style of handbag so this gives women more reasons to buy a minimum of three handbag styles to match whatever their outfit is. To help you out which types of handbag to buy, these top 3 handbag styles are always in the latest fashion trend. 1. THE TOTE Tote Handbags are very popular because they are casual yet very practical to use. These bags usually fall in the middle of the body, around the elbow. They are usually big that's why they provide a lot of space for women's essential things that are too large for a purse. They usually only have one or two compartments and are available with a number of images on them or a simple solid color. 2. THE CLUTCH A clutch is a handbag which does not have handles and is meant to be carried in the hand. That said they are usually quite small and only provide enough space for the personal small belongings of women such as make up, cosmetic products and other girly things. These bags can be casual or dressy and are often worn to an evening gathering and other formal occasions because they are so small and convenient to carry. 3. THE SATCHEL A handbag that has one, sometimes two, large straps that goes over one shoulder and across the body. This type of handbag is best appropriate in most women who are working in an office. They have to use this handbag because they need to carry their important files whenever they have a meeting or if they need to bring their paper works in their home. It is also often used by most students to help them carry their books and other school stuffs. Using satchel does not only help women to hold their bulky files and things in a more convenient way but also enhance their fashion outlook. All of which are always available at Platino!     "Glamour is indefineable, but definitely recognizable." - Kenneth Jay Lane PLATINO collections range from trend to timeless, sterling silver to 24K gold, and contemporary to classic.
