The Simple Little Things was created out of one of the hardest moments of my life. When I discovered that my daughter had been quietly battling anxiety, depression, and self-harm, my world stopped. I’ll never forget the message that I woke up to on that December morning: “Mommy, I have something to tell you. I started cutting.” Reading those words shattered me. I felt heartbroken and helpless. We got thrown into the world of mental health. As I watch, and continue to watch, our daughter on her path of healing, I started to see symbols everywhere that alluded to mental health. Butterflies, flowers, bees and semi-colons.
I have seen first hand hard it can be to stay strong, to hold onto your inner resilience, and to remember to celebrate even the smallest steps forward. That’s why I wanted to create something women could wear — a tangible reminder that strength is within them, and that every day offers something worth honoring. Just as recovery groups give medallions to mark milestones, I wanted to design something beautiful for mental health journeys, something that says: you’ve come this far, and your story isn’t over yet. I was determined to turn that pain into something that could bring light and hope, not only for her but for others walking a similar path.

Each piece in our collection — whether carefully curated or originally designed — is more than jewelry. Butterflies symbolize transformation, each flower symbolizes it's own unique strength, semicolons whisper “my story isn't over yet,” and bees remind us of resilience and the sweetness that can follow struggle. Together, these designs tell a story of hope, healing, and perseverance.

At The Simple Little Things, our jewelry is meant to be a hidden-in-plain-sight treasure — a personal, private reminder you can carry every day, and a subtle signal others who understand will recognize too. This isn’t just jewelry. It’s strength you can wear.
