Sown fields, read in glass. Solomiya's diamonds carry the pattern language's wish for prosperity, and in some colorways an eight-point star rises among them — the sun, standing guard over the harvest.

Loomed by hand in Ukraine, bead by bead on cotton thread, and finished with draped fringe strands that move when you do.

No two identical. Arrives gift-ready.

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.
