This necklace is created in the style of traditional Hutsul zgardas, which combined not only metal elements but also unique glass beads. It uses copies of ancient Hutsul crosses, natural baroque pearls, and painted red Venetian beads—a special type of glass bead that held great significance in the traditional jewelry of the Carpathians.
Materials: white baroque pearls, "Venetian" glass beads, brass pendants, jewelry alloy.
Baroque white pearls of a natural asymmetrical shape. Each pearl is unique as it has not undergone the faceting process. These organic forms and soft mother-of-pearl luster give the necklace a sophisticated look and make each piece one-of-a-kind.
Venetian beads were once made on the island of Murano in Venice and were a true luxury item. They were hand-painted with gold and were extremely expensive. Thanks to trade connections, particularly through the supply of wood for the construction of Venice, the Hutsuls received these elegant beads, which became an important part of their ethnic jewelry. This necklace uses modern analogues of Venetian beads that convey their historical aesthetic.
The handmade brass crosses are copies of ancient Hutsul amulets that reinforce the traditional component of the jewelry, creating a bridge between history and modernity.
The necklace length is 42 cm, and an extension chain with the signature SHTERNO logo adds a few extra centimeters.
