Sometimes a single statement piece can do it all. Loud and flashy jewelry can be fun but sometimes all you need is something that whispers yet makes an impact. When it comes to minimal jewelry, it does exactly that. They’re all about clean lines, geometric forms, being non-fussy, and is simple.

Minimal in the easiest of terms means less and simple. A minimalistic style jewelry is where less is more and simple is the new trend in style and is all about choosing sleek and clean lines while leaving out the maximalist or extravagant jewelry items behind.

Whether you are a tee and jeans donning casual person or a pant-suit executive or even a saree-loving corporate employee, minimal jewelry can easily help you make a statement effortlessly. One of the best parts about it is how even if you wear all the statement pieces together, they wouldn’t scream or look too much!

Tips to keep in mind while wearing minimal jewelry

1. Sleek and clean line is the key

This is one of the most important things to remember. Minimalist jewelry is all about clean lines, geometric forms, and being non-fussy. Either your clothes can do the shining, or your jewelry can.  

Jewelry pieces that are streamlined, fuss-free, and have smooth surfaces are the staples of a minimalistic style. 

2. Old is Gold

Yes, you've heard right! Old is always gold, so this is a reminder to keep your classics close to your heart. There are certain jewelry items that never go out of style. If you don't already have them, it's time that you invest in them! A diamond stud for example or a dainty pearl earring is everything versatile and chic that your minimalistic soul is looking for. 

3. Chuck the extravagance

Minimalism and opulence are opposites. If you have opted for a minimalistic style then stay away from anything that is opulent, extra or fussy. Instead, go for the pieces that are simple and clean with structured lines. More doesn't always mean good bling. 

4. Layer it up

Just because you're keeping it simple, it doesn't mean that it has to be boring. Playing around with your minimal jewelry pieces is the trick to add more play fullness to your entire look. Get creative and innovative with your minimalistic jewelry. Mix up random pieces together and create your own statement style to match your personality!
