The necklace, inspired by ancient traditions, recreates the beauty of the legendary balamuty—adornments made from natural mother-of-pearl. In Ukrainian culture, balamuty were especially valuable, as this material was obtained from fossilized shells, which were carefully handcrafted due to their fragility. Because of this, such necklaces were not only a status symbol but also a rare treasure.
Large mother-of-pearl beads (13 mm in diameter) captivate with their creamy hue and natural iridescence, reminiscent of traditional Ukrainian balamuty. The central accent of the composition is handcrafted brass beads, adding an ethnic touch. Their finely detailed openwork patterns echo ancient jewelry techniques, creating a harmonious balance between natural beauty and artisanal craftsmanship.
This piece is a striking addition to any look, combining historical aesthetics with modern elegance.
Necklace length – 44 cm + an extension chain featuring the SHTERNO signature logo.
