Choker "butterfly"
Choker "butterfly"
Wings for the throat. A butterfly opens across the collar — monarch orange, swallowtail yellow, peacock red or twilight blue, depending on the colorway you choose — its lower wings dissolving into beaded fringe that flickers with every turn of your head.
Beaded by hand in Ukraine from seed beads on cotton thread, finished with a silver clasp and chain.

Folk motifs carry meanings older than writing — poppies guard the home, wheat calls the harvest, birds watch over travellers.

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.
