Artfully Elegant — Handmade Jewelry & Handcrafted Gifts

After months of perfecting an impenetrable fortress to keep my family and I safe from the virus, I was hit with it in the middle of November. We operate with extreme caution in all situations, but after moving in the beginning of November it became clear that I must have contracted it by working too closely with the movers on moving day. The thing is that we have to be perfect in our protective efforts all of the time, while the virus only needs to take advantage of a letting down of our guard once. Somehow in some way, masks and sanitizing gel were no match to save me from what was to come. It was definitely one of the worst things I have had to experience, but I was fortunate to have come out of it relatively unscathed. It is a beast, but I am very thankful that I managed my way through it.

Normally, this time of the year is full of numerous marketing efforts and even more numerous sales. But with me being knocked down for the count, Artfully Elegant definitely took a hit right alongside with me. So I am offering a few discounts to those who still need to get that holiday shopping done. Here are just a few of the best deals we have going on right now:

Seldomly do we come across a jewelry design that is so simple and yet alluring at the same time. But the Empowered lines of bracelets and necklaces by Maya J manage to do both. Beautifully designed, each bracelet and necklace bring to light the affirmations we hold so dearly in our hearts and minds.

These script necklaces and bracelets are the perfect gift. And at $35 each, how could anyone go wrong? It’s probably why Oprah made it one of  Oprah’s Favorite Things for 2018!

Piet Mondrian was a pioneer of the abstract art movement. He brought to the world a manner of expression that until then it had not truly ever experienced. Known for his mastery of a style he aptly termed De Stijl, he refined his artistry to only include primary colors and clean straight lines.

When I first came across Vanessa Gade’s beautifully crafted handmade jewelry, I was immediately struck by her ability to own her style while simultaneously paying homage to De Stijl. Her work is refined, organic, and simply put, captivating. As a wearer you will find yourself fascinated by the juxtaposition of lines of gold and the space created between them. Priced with the wearer in mind, our Vanessa Gade collection is meant to stun the viewer while giving the impression that it is still completely accessible. To put it bluntly, you’ll find that her jewelry can be worn whether in a pair of jeans or in a little black dress.

Our personal favorite, is wonderfully titled Mondrian. Check it out, I’m sure you’ll agree.
