“Khustska” — a red-and-white beaded necklace from Sokyrnytsia
Long, open loops of seed beads give this traditional Ukrainian sylianka its distinctive silhouette. A narrow patterned band follows the neckline, while alternating red and white strands form a lively fringe below. The design recreates a two-part necklace worn in the 1930s in Sokyrnytsia, a village in the Khust district.

A patterned neckline and cascading loops
Red triangular motifs and white zigzags run across the close-fitting upper section. Beneath them, elongated bead loops hang freely rather than forming a solid sheet. Different red tones are balanced by white strands, with small beads accenting the ends. The open construction makes the necklace visually rich yet airy.
A piece of Ukrainian heritage for today's wardrobe
