Red, Green and Dark Leaf Ukrainian Handmade Kryza-Style Beaded Statement Collar

A richly detailed handmade statement necklace created bead by bead by Anastasia, a Ukrainian artisan.

This collar combines deep red, vivid green, and black seed beads in a dramatic repeating leaf pattern. The pointed fringe creates a layered botanical effect around the neckline, while the darker woven structure adds depth and contrast. The result is bold, elegant, and unmistakably handcrafted.

The necklace sits close to the neckline and works especially well with burgundy, black, cream, charcoal, forest green, and other solid colors that allow the beadwork to stand out. Wear it to dinners, celebrations, cultural events, holidays, artistic gatherings, or whenever you want a distinctive statement piece.

A Purchase With Meaning

Anastasia, a single mother from Ukraine's Donbas region, handmade this necklace.

When Russia's invasion forced her and her son to leave their home, they relocated across the country in search of safety. The war devastated the community and home they knew, and Anastasia faced the difficult task of rebuilding her life far from where she had lived.

Through that upheaval, she continued creating jewelry.

Using thousands of small beads, thread, patience, and careful handwork, Anastasia creates each piece herself. Her jewelry gives her a way to earn income, support her son, and continue doing something deeply personal and creative despite the disruption the war brought to their lives.

Every necklace represents hours of work. No factory produces these pieces. Each is shaped by the person who made it.

When you purchase Anastasia's jewelry, you are buying an original piece of handmade wearable art while directly supporting an independent Ukrainian artisan and mother.
