Our Milkyway bead necklace is a tribute to one of the most fascinating phenomena in our galaxy: the Milky Way. Billions of stars together form the luminous band in the night sky and remind us that we, too, are part of something much greater.

With its series of delicate beads, the Milkyway necklace picks up on this idea in its design. Made in Germany from recycled 925 sterling silver and with a clasp made from recycled 750 or 585 yellow gold, it becomes a timeless companion and a symbol of connection.

Beauty surrounds us – and at the same time, we are part of it.

Milkyway Beaded Chain jewelry designer Helge Maren Hauptmann

For Helge Maren Hauptmann, jewelry is something deeply personal. It preserves memories, tells stories, and often stays with us for a lifetime. This mindset shapes every piece of jewelry from Maren Jewellery.

After studying jewelry design in Pforzheim and spending many years in the industry, the designer founded Maren Jewellery in 2020 to create jewelry guided by her own values: handcrafted and defined by a quiet luxury aesthetic. Recycled gold and lab-grown diamonds are used to create pieces that do not need to be loud to move you—for women who value design, quality, and responsibility.

Frequently asked questions about the Milkyway ball chain

Yes, the Milkyway ball chain made of 925 sterling silver can generally be worn while showering. Water alone is not a problem for the silver. However, soap, shower gel, and other care products can leave residue on the surface and affect its shine. Silver can also tarnish over time. That is why we recommend cleaning the ball chain regularly and gently.

A ball chain has a larger surface area thanks to the individual beads and gaps, where residue from cosmetics, sweat, or dust can build up over time. That is why we recommend cleaning the Milkyway ball chain carefully on a regular basis. For a more thorough cleaning, you can also use our ReFresh Service for professional jewelry cleaning.

Yes, the Milkyway ball chain can be worn with a pendant. The pendant is not traditionally threaded onto the chain, but is attached directly to the clasp. This means you can wear the ball chain on its own or combine it individually with a matching pendant.
