Red and Yellow Sunburst Ukrainian Handmade Kryza-Style Beaded Collar

A bold, handcrafted statement piece made bead by bead by Anastasia, a Ukrainian artisan.

This red-and-yellow sunburst necklace features a rich mix of deep red, black, and golden yellow beads arranged in a repeating geometric fringe pattern. The design creates a striking collar effect that frames the neckline beautifully and gives the piece a warm, dramatic presence.

Each section is individually handwoven, creating subtle variations that make every necklace unique. The intricate pattern, detailed beadwork, and sculptural shape make this piece feel like wearable art rather than mass-produced jewelry.

The necklace pairs especially well with cream, black, burgundy, charcoal, and other solid colors that allow the beadwork to stand out. Wear it as a statement piece for dinners, celebrations, cultural events, holidays, artistic gatherings, or whenever you want something distinctive.

A Purchase With Meaning

Anastasia, a single mother from Ukraine’s Donbas region, made this necklace by hand.

After Russia’s invasion forced Anastasia and her son to leave their home, they relocated across the country in search of safety. Their home and community were devastated by the war, leaving them to rebuild their lives far from where they had lived.

Through that upheaval, Anastasia continued creating jewelry by hand.

Her beadwork requires patience, precision, and many hours of careful work. Each section is constructed from individual seed beads woven together to create the necklace’s repeating pattern and distinctive sunburst fringe.

For Anastasia, jewelry making is more than a creative pursuit. Selling her handmade work provides income that helps support her and her son as they continue rebuilding their lives in Ukraine.

No factory produces these pieces. Each necklace is made individually, by hand.

When you purchase one of Anastasia’s pieces, you receive an original work of wearable art while directly supporting an independent Ukrainian artisan and mother.
