Leaves worked like lace — openwork panels of foliage above layered, draping strands, the way a canopy hangs over falling light. In the old language a growing branch carries the family line forward, leaf by leaf.

Strung by hand with needle and thread in Ukraine: beads, stainless-steel accessories, cotton-poly thread. Offered in red, black, or white.

No two identical. Arrives gift-ready.

Color: Red

Beads for the night side

Black glass has a long memory: Victorian mourning jewellery was strung from it, and a black-ground gerdan makes every red burn brighter. Our skulls, bats and serpents are beaded exactly like the poppies — the same seed beads, the same hands in Ukraine — only the motifs have changed.
