A necklace featuring mother-of-pearl beads in a delightful caramel hue, shaped like “rice,” is complemented by a little bird pendant — a symbol of spring. Mother-of-pearl, the inner layer of a mollusk’s shell, has been highly prized since ancient times for its gentle glow and smooth surface. Thanks to its natural beauty and delicate iridescence, mother-of-pearl is believed to possess magical properties, helping harmonize emotions and spark a zest for life. Bird motifs remain on-trend, and in this necklace, they take on an ethnic touch reminiscent of traditional “zhayvoronky” — lark-shaped pastries baked for Haivky or Stritenya, a time marking the arrival of spring. The brass pendant, created by a metalworker from Kosiv, is meticulously detailed down to the smallest element. You can choose a length of either 40 or 42 cm, while the extension chain featuring the “Shterno” logo provides a few extra centimeters. The combination of a warm mother-of-pearl glow, symbolic little birds, and an authentic ethnic accent makes for a truly unique piece that recalls the arrival of spring and warms the soul throughout the year. **Care and Warranty:** - Remove the necklace before bathing, sleeping, or physical exercise. - Avoid contact with water.
