Our 2010 studio visit (video below) with NYC-based jewelry designer Jill Platner revealed a genial spirit who looked most comfortable when forming and playing with her materials of choice: silver and gold. Though metal can sometimes give off a cold, pristine feeling, Platner’s expertise has been in creating accessories and sculptures that desire to be touched and held, almost like an extension of the body. …
NYC-based jeweler Jill Platner offers this set of collar stays that you’ll never want to tuck away. Made from sterling silver that’s been hammered for an interesting textured finish, the two-inch collar stays come with a leather storage pouch when they aren’t in use. Just don’t forget to take them out before dropping your laundry off at the dry cleaners.
Jill Platner discovered her love of metal working in NYC while attending the Parson’s School of Design, and began creating jewelry as a side project to her sculptural pieces. Whether you’re a Bowie fan or just want a piece with a bit of energy, her sterling silver baby bolt pendant will add a little zap to your wardrobe.
