Huge irregular and “mixed” luster baroque pearls with antique Berber bead, glass and lapis in the color of the Ukrainian Flag.  The materials have all lost some of their shine and are intentionally matte and worn- just like the current state of the country a consequence of the brutal invasion.  This necklace is a tribute to the determination and courage of the Ukrainian people.

This is part of the benefit collection for Ukraine. As a Canadian of 50% Ukrainian descent, my heart, mind, and hands keep reaching for blue and yellow beads, the colors of the Ukrainian flag. The colors symbolize the blue sky above the yellow field of wheat, representing Ukraine and the Ukrainians as they are – freedom-loving, independent, brave, and vibrant. With its ancient history, the Ukrainian flag holds a significant place in the heart of the Ukrainian people and is a nation’s talisman through all times. We are absolutely in awe of the courage and determination of the Ukrainians and hope that they may soon be free again.

This is part of our Benefit Collection for Ukraine. 20% will go to WomenforWomen.org, an NGO that works in war-torn countries, such as Ukraine.
