Maize Hair Jewelry

Maize

Maize Jewelry is inspired by the Maya Maize God Emerging from a Flower, symbolizing life, rebirth, and abundance. Crafted from deep green Guatemala Jade with semi translucent petals, the design blends cultural symbolism with modern artistry. Gold elements reinforce the delicate jade, serving both aesthetic and structural purposes. Using 3D modeling and expert craftsmanship, this piece functions as both a hair ornament and a sculptural tribute to Mesoamerican heritage, embodying elegance, tradition, and innovation.

Maize Hair Jewelry by New Elegant Co., Ltd has been selected as a creative representation of fashion design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Maize Hair Jewelry received the Golden A' Design Award in Jewelry Design in 2025. The A' Jewelry Design Award is an international, juried, academic and meritocratic design prize that rewards superior design of rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, brooches, pendants, cufflinks, anklets and more.
