Beaded gerdan Г20

A beaded gerdan — a traditional handmade Ukrainian neck ornament. The piece is made of fine, colourful beads in the form of a long neck band. The finished piece measures about 11 by 46 centimetres. Every such gerdan is made by hand, so each one is unique in its own way. 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 and authentic. An ornament like this will be an adornment at photo sessions, celebrations and formal occasions.
