Bloomington, IL--(MelanieMichele)--April 2, 2002-- MelanieMichele presents its 2002
collection of innovative dual headpieces. We design them as necklaces
first and then transform them into headpieces for weddings and special
occasions. These headpieces can be easily converted back to their original
necklace forms. Today, with more than 30 signature styles to choose
from and with endless design variations, these dual headpieces are made
to order for women with selective tastes. They are hand-woven, knotted
and twisted together into wearable-art with 14k gold, Swarovski crystals,
colorful semi-precious gem stones and pearls.
"In every MelanieMichele headpiece, we strive to fulfill the dreams of our
clients. We are fascinated by their visions. Our collaboration brings
forth truly original ideas that help fuel our passion to express ourselves
in unique ways. We create jewelry that becomes today's modern heirlooms."
The MelanieMichele wearable-sculpture collection grows steadily. It includes
the Reflections series, the 3-Dimensional dual designs and the Square
necklaces, with prices starting at 200 dollars for sterling silver and
740 dollars for 14k gold.
-The Reflections series embodies a dynamic relationship between design
and product. It is the ultra design. Its shape is optimal for a headpiece:
all you need to do is to place it on your head and it becomes a part
of you. No anchoring is necessary for this design and that makes it
totally fun and effortless to wear. Surviving women who have gone through
chemotherapy and want to wear something in celebration may find these
Reflections headpieces perfect. They can be made at various heights
for both the refined and the outrageous celebrants of life.

-The 3-Dimensional headpiece/necklace is a solid geometrical shape of
crystals. Sparkling light is reflected everywhere off this design and
its matching ring and bangle bracelet. Its seemingly simple elegant
form is reminiscent of the DNA double helix.
-The centerpiece of this spring collection is a small two-story square
choker with dangling 4mm Swarovski® crystals. It is a whimsically
charming piece with a linear motif that is irresistible to viewers.
