Ukrainian Handmade Kryza-Style Green, Bronze and Black Beaded Collar

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

This green, bronze, and black statement collar features a striking mix of metallic bronze, deep black, and rich green beads woven into a repeating fan-like geometric pattern. The layered openwork creates a dramatic collar effect that frames the neckline beautifully and adds depth, movement, and a refined metallic presence.

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

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

A Purchase With Meaning

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

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 and precision. Each section is carefully woven from individual seed beads to create the repeating geometric structure, metallic highlights, and distinctive fan-shaped 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.
