We've been touching on this topic quite a bit via our other social channels - Instagram and Twitter, to be more specific. And we won't back down. Simplicity is the key to...well, everything!As humans, we just love to complicate all aspects of our lives. Of course it makes things more interesting at times, but it can also increase our stress levels for no good reason. It's tough in the modern age to boil things down to their simplest forms, but it can really return us to our best, most content selves. Our roots!Let's focus on the jewels. As with any art form, so much can be done with this precious bundle of elements. We can mold it, craft it, add lots of embellishments to it - make it as crazy as we want it! But oftentimes distilling it down to its unadorned form is the most appealing to our senses. Clean lines, single stones, basic shapes - all aspects of jewelry that seem elementary but actually make for a very appealing, beautiful piece. Why, you ask? I'm glad you're so curious, because I'm about to tell you.Simple is classic.It will never go out of style. It keeps things ever-modern and ever-wearable. Even if your style is a bit more eccentric, it's rare for simplicity to offend. It's universal.Wearing simple jewelry keeps the focus on the wearer.It enhances rather than covers up. It allows your true essence to shine while adding a little sparkle.Take the Juliet, for instance. This is Artelle's best-selling pendant of all time. That's right - simple lines and shape with a single diamond floating in the middle. It's uncomplicated and un-gussied and the result is nothing short of elegant! It's no wonder so many people are attracted to it.We can see more clearly.When our jewelry is free and clear of any "extras," it's easier to see the beauty that exists in the gemstone - the facets and colors, how it changes in different lighting. When we strip everything away, we identify what's most essential and eliminate the debris.Simple jewelry can be worn with ANYTHING.How great is that? You can save all of your brilliant brain power for other life decisions, because your jewelry looks good with pretty much every outfit you own! Even fine jewelry - which may feel too dressy to some - can work with a casual daytime ensemble or for a night out at the swankiest restaurant you know. It's pretty cool how adaptable simple can be.Simplicity helps balance us.We're humans. Our genetic makeup is anything but simple. So we need simplicity in our lives to help balance out what's natural in us. Simplicity grounds us and clears our headspace. There is no need to overthink our choices and that's a beautiful and freeing experience.There's certainly a time and a place for complexity - it can be fun and invigorating to mix a little bit in, and sometimes we just want to feel something wild. But given the choice, simple wins every time.Questions? Comments? Quandries? You know where to find us!
