A zgharda necklace made of unpolished matte amber, green "Venetian" beads, and a Hutsul cross, which is a replica of an antique one. Traditionally, a zgharda is considered a metal necklace adorned with Hutsul crosses. However, in different regions of the Hutsul area, a zgharda also refers to necklaces with crosses that incorporate Venetian glass. These painted glass beads were once brought directly from Venice, were incredibly expensive, and indicated the wealth of the owner. Our necklace combines amber, which with its matte texture and color contrasts on one side and complements the glass on the other. The central cross is handcrafted by a master jeweler, who created a replica of an antique cross. This minimalist necklace is a tribute to our traditions and a modern continuation of the trend towards ethnic and eclectic styles. Care and Warranty: Remove the jewelry before taking a bath or going to sleep. Avoid water; if the jewelry gets wet, dry it with a towel and additionally wipe all beads, the pendant, and the clasp. Store in a place protected from dust and direct sunlight. It is best to keep such a necklace in a box, pouch, or in a place where it will not be compressed, as the wire may bend irreversibly. If something happens to your necklace, contact us on Instagram @shterno_brand. We guarantee repair and refurbishment of the necklace. Depending on the circumstances, this may be at our expense or the cost of shipping.
