Diamonds and eight-point stars run the length of this gerdan — sown fields and the guarding sun, the two wishes a pattern-maker offers first: plenty, and protection.

Loomed by hand in Ukraine, bead by bead on cotton thread, and finished with a soft fringe; nine colorways range from red-and-black to ancient gold.

No two identical. Arrives gift-ready.

Why no two are identical

Hand-loomed beadwork cannot be duplicated exactly — thread tension, bead lots and the maker’s hand all leave their signature. Small differences are not flaws; they are the proof.
