The meander never ends — that is the point. Greece's oldest border pattern, the key that turns forever, runs here across crisp loomed panels joined by draping strands of beads.

Loomed by hand in Ukraine from glass seed beads — one country's pattern language paying its respects to another's — in white, grey, or black and gold.

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.
