Honey

The "Honey Collection" is a series of necklaces I've crafted inspired by materials. Weaving through warm vintage amber, red antique Bakelite plastic, soft and gentle caramel-colored mother-of-pearl with a gleam reminiscent of authentic balamut, I've combined them with predominantly Carpathian handmade pendant charms crafted by artisans, as well as lunar amulets - Slavic and ancient Russian female protective pendants. This collection echoes the traditions of ancient Ukrainian crafts - creating jewelry, brass crafting - making items from brass, silver, and gold, and beekeeping - the ancient practice of gathering wild forest honey into wooden barrels (borts).
