A heart that keeps its own watch. Black velvet-dark beadwork in the shape of a heart, ringed with clear crystal like frost on a window, and in its center an open eye of white, silver and amber beads — awake, unbothered, looking back.

It hangs from a strand of black faceted glass gathered with raw crystal points, a glint of tiger-eye, an iridescent glass bead, and silver charms along the way: a crescent moon, a cross, two spikes. The whole piece reads like a reliquary for someone who tells fortunes and means them.

One of a kind — this is the only one. Arrives gift-ready.

Glass beads, crystals and natural stones, bead-embroidered pendant, stainless chains and clasp. Recommendations: do not wet, protect from chemicals and perfume, store flat. Handcrafted; measurements are approximate.

The tale of this motif

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.
