One square, one bead. Thousands later — a gerdan.
Chapter I · Necklaces & gerdans
The Sown Field
Gerdans and beaded necklaces — the long tales. Diamonds for sown fields, flowers red as summer: patterns that carried a whole year of village life on a single ribbon of beads.
Chapter II · Earrings
The Small Charms
Earrings — the short stories. Stars, flowers, berries and bells, beaded small enough for every day.
Chapter III · Bracelets
Round the Wrist
Bracelets — tales that wrap around. Loomed cuffs and beaded bands, sized to circle the wrist.
Chapter IV · Chokers
Close to the Heart
Chokers — worn high and close. Beaded flowers and geometry that sit right at the collar.
Chapter V · Polymer clay
The Sweetshop
Donuts, sushi, lemons and macarons — playful polymer-clay charms for the fun pages of the story.
Chapter VI · Ties & scarves
The Longest Threads
Beaded ties and scarves — the rarest, longest weavings in the store.
Chapter VII · Jewelry sets
Told Together
Matching sets — necklace and earrings that share one pattern, made to be given together.
Chapter VIII · The exclusive collection
The Rare Pages
The showpieces — large gerdans and one-of-one masterworks. When one is gone, it is gone.
Chapter IX · Gothic
The Dark Arts
Skulls, bats, serpents and black lace — the tales told after dark. Every bone and wing is still built bead by bead; only the hour has changed.
Field note № 1
What is a gerdan?
A gerdan is a loomed beadwork necklace worn across Ukraine for centuries — its geometric patterns recorded family, region and occasion long before anything was written down. Each one begins as a chart and is woven bead by bead.
