On a ground of white — light itself, in the old color language — geometric tulip medallions bloom in red, green and yellow, joined by the eight-point star that has always meant the sun, and its protection.

A gerdan loomed by hand in Ukraine, bead by bead, from glass seed beads on cotton thread — the kind of necklace that once announced a feast day from across the square.

Woven to be worn for generations. Arrives gift-ready.

The tale of this motif

Field note № 3

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.
