Beyond the Head: A Multifunctional Hairstick and Necklace Design

A Unique Piece of Jewelry by Milli Maier

Milli Maier, a talented designer, has created a stunning piece of jewelry that combines the beauty of a hairstick with the versatility of a necklace. Inspired by her personal interest in hair jewelry, Maier wanted to create a design that could be passed down through generations, adding sentimental value to the wearer.

Hair jewelry has always been a symbol of femininity, and Maier wanted to refine it with a touch of elegance. The "Beyond the Head" design represents the creative power of women, with twisted horns symbolizing beauty and spark. Made from silver and adorned with zircons, this hairstick is not only visually appealing but also comfortable to use in everyday life.

What sets this design apart is its multifunctionality. The hairstick can be easily transformed into a necklace, making it suitable for evening events as well. The stick is detachable from the center, revealing a chain that connects the two parts into a beautiful necklace. In today's busy lifestyle, having a piece of jewelry that can be used all day according to one's needs is highly desirable.

The "Beyond the Head" design is a testament to Maier's craftsmanship. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted in Estonia, with the surface finishing done using an old engraving technique. The dimensions of the product are as follows: width ranging from 4 to 25mm, height of 235mm, and a weight of 45g.

This unique design has garnered recognition in the design community. In 2013, it was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Jewelry, Eyewear, and Watch Design category. This prestigious award is bestowed upon designs that exhibit outstanding creativity, technical skill, and resourcefulness, contributing to improvements in quality of life.

With its combination of elegance, functionality, and versatility, the "Beyond the Head" design by Milli Maier is a true work of art. Whether worn as a hairstick or transformed into a necklace, this piece of jewelry is sure to make a statement and become a cherished heirloom for generations to come.
