In this necklace, ancient Hutsul traditions are interwoven with the elegance of natural materials. Its central element is a brass pendant in the shape of a cheese horse (syrnyi konyk), crafted by the brass masters (mosyazhnyky) of the Hutsul region. This symbol is inspired by traditional cheese figures that shepherds formed from sheep's or cow's cheese. The horses served as amulets, symbolizing strength, endurance, and prosperity, and were also given as gifts at weddings and celebrations. Combined with the iridescent agate, the horse seems to be galloping—forward, toward new dreams!
Materials: Tiger's Eye agate, brass pendant.
Tiger's Eye agate is a variety of the mineral chalcedony known for its unique silky luster and characteristic golden-brown stripes. Its special optical effect of iridescence, which changes depending on the angle of light, creates the visual impression of a tiger's eye, from which the stone derives its name. This durable mineral has a hardness of 6.5–7 on the Mohs scale, making it resistant to damage and suitable for daily wear.
The brass pendant in the shape of a cheese horse is a replica of the traditional cheese products long made in the Hutsul region as treats and amulets. The brass masters recreated this symbol in metal, preserving its characteristic form.
