Custom designs are getting too simple, and it's a shame

Lately, I see a lot of jewelers pushing for very plain, minimalist custom pieces. Everyone seems to think that's what customers want now. I think we're losing the beauty of detailed work. For instance, a client asked me to copy a basic band instead of adding the filigree she once loved. That kind of skill should not fade away. Simple has its place, but so does the art of making something complex. We should not let trends make us forget our craft.
