A necklace made of hematite beads with a reflective metallic sheen is complemented by a brass bird pendant — a symbol of spring. Hematite is a mineral of iron oxide, renowned for its deep gray or black surface. In ancient times, it was not only used in jewelry but also as a pigment, thanks to its characteristic red hue when ground into powder. Bird motifs remain popular, and in this necklace, they take on an ethnic flair, reminiscent of traditional “zhayvoronky” — lark-shaped pastries baked for Haivky or Stritenya, celebrations of spring. The brass pendant, crafted by a metalworker from Kosiv, impresses with its meticulous attention to detail. You can choose a length of either 40 or 42 cm, while the extension chain adds a few extra centimeters. The combination of hematite's cool sheen, the symbolic bird pendant, and authentic ethnic accents creates a stylish accessory that conveys a sense of strength and harmony. Care and Warranty: Remove the necklace before bathing, sleeping, or exercising. Avoid contact with water. If the necklace becomes wet, carefully dry it and wipe the beads, pendant, and clasp. Store the necklace in a box, pouch, or another place protected from dust and sunlight. In case of damage, send us a message on Instagram @shterno_brand.
