The art world is so varied that one can wonder what connects it all together. The fields of painting, sculpture, photography, jewellery, and theatre all require different skills and talents and are loved by different types of people. However, one thing runs through all of these things, simplicity. A truly beautiful diamond ring or a stunning photograph will go back to basics in order to enhance its appearance. A simple solitaire engagement ring can draw in the user, with the single diamond perched on top glittering and sparkling for everyone to see. And, we all know what it is like to take that cluttered photograph with too much occurring within the one tiny frame. The best photos, like the best rings, are simple and pleasing to your eye. This line of simplicity in art can be deceiving, however, and it may be best to emphasise that with simplicity can still come great variety. In fact, you can take one complicated object and form several simpler, more beautiful objects from it. Say that you have an eternity ring set with a larger trilogy diamond set on top.

A ring like this may seem attractive with around twenty diamonds embedded into it, but it may look too overwhelming. Trimming down the features to make it into an ordinary trilogy ring, or a simpler eternity ring – half or full – and you have a piece of jewellery that looks amazing. The same train of though applies to photography as well as diamond engagement rings. If you are looking at a busy beach scene, you could snap pictures of a beach ball among the waves, or a solitary child playing in the sand. Looking at the individual components of a scene and determining which ones would make a great photo is what distinguishes the great photographers from the amateurs among us. You can see that focusing on the parts as opposed to the whole actually gives us a greater depth of choice. You can create several exquisite pieces of diamond jewellery from the one complicated design. You can also take one scene in life and snap a great many pictures of the individual parts.

For some good examples of this, take a look at the experts in these fields. The best jewellers will use their honed skills to create the best rings adorned with perfectly cut diamonds. These rings will be pleasing to the eye and not contain too many details. Professional photographers can also dissect the everyday images of our lives to create a picture which is actually better looking than the whole scene. These photos can also show us something that we may have missed hidden underneath the clutter of reality. A perfect engagement ring set with a diamond or two can also give a message without being clouded over by layers of detail. This message is also simple like the ring and consists of three small words “I love you”. And, in the end, this is the simplest message that you could ever give to somebody.
