Gerdan patriotic Г29

A patriotic gerdan — a traditional handmade Ukrainian neck ornament. The piece is carefully made in fine, colourful, long-lasting beads. The finished gerdan measures about 8 by 40 centimetres. Every such gerdan is made by hand, so each one is unlike any other. An ornament like this gives any woman’s look a striking, festive accent.

The gerdan is an old neck ornament that has always gone with the Ukrainian national costume. It naturally completes a vyshyvanka and finishes a festive women’s look. Beadwork carries on the folk tradition passed down from one generation to the next. The handwork makes the ethnic look whole, authentic and complete. An ornament like this will be an adornment at photo sessions, celebrations and formal occasions.
