My good friends .m_ and started their own fundraising initiative called . This is one of their amazing custom made pieces in the traditional Ukrainian style called a Gerdan/Silyanka. This type of jewelry, which is made of seeded beads, dates back generations in Ukrainian culture and the practice of maintaining its significance is vital to Ukrainian identity today. I chose the blue colours as in Ukrainian culture they represent peace and the blue of our sky, and I wish to reiterate the importance of keeping Ukrainian skies safe during this critical time. Admittedly, this is my first piece of traditional Ukrainian jewelry, but it will not be my last! All proceeds from the sales at go toward charities and fundraisers that directly support Ukrainian troops through medical aid and life saving equipment. If you are interested in acquiring your own piece, please feel free to DM and get in touch with their very talented team! Thank you so much to .m_ who spent countless hours making this Silyanka for me! I’m in love! Мої друзі .m_ та розпочали свою благодійну ініціативу . Це одна з їхніх ручних робіт яка традиційно називається Силянкою або Герданом. (Не критикуйте Я ще вчусь!) Ця прикраса дуже часто помічається в Українській культурі та вважається старовинною практикою і традицією нашого народу. Я обрала голубі та білі кольора так як вони в розумінні позначають наше голубе і мирне небо якого дуже хочеться для України в ці часи. Це одна з моїх перших традиційних прикрас але це звісно не буде останньою! Всі кошти талановиті дівчата дають на донати в благодійні фонди в Україні які підтримують наших військових з медичною допомогою. Якщо вас зацікавила ця ручна робота, і вам захотілось також цієї чудової Силянки, пишіть на пряму в . Дуже хочу подякувати .m_ за цю неймовірну роботу! Я просто обожнюю її!
