“Khustska” Multicolored Sylianka Inspired by Traditional Transcarpathian Jewelry
Vibrant multicolored beaded loops, delicate openwork weaving and silver-tone accents come together in an expressive necklace inspired by the traditional jewelry of Ukraine's Transcarpathian region. The upper section follows the neckline, while the lower section unfolds into elongated decorative loops that create a colorful, lace-like silhouette.
The “Khustska” sylianka is carefully handwoven from Czech Preciosa seed beads using a pattern by Vasyl Kotsan. It recreates a traditional two-part necklace dating to the 1930s from Sokyrnytsia village in the Khust district. Its design preserves the distinctive composition of the historical piece while bringing it into a contemporary handmade jewelry collection.

Two-Part Construction and Colorful Openwork Beadwork
The upper section features a delicate openwork mesh made with dark seed beads and interwoven light and colorful details. This section forms the decorative foundation of the necklace, following the curve of the neckline and connecting to the more expressive lower portion.
Elongated beaded loops are arranged closely together, alternating between rich blue, green, orange, yellow, red and white. Their repeating shapes and carefully balanced colors create a lively ornamental rhythm while maintaining a harmonious overall composition.
Silver-tone round beads appear along the decorative loops, emphasizing their curves and adding a distinctive textural contrast. The combination of fine colorful seed beads and larger metallic-looking accents gives the necklace its recognizable character.
A Historical Beaded Necklace from Sokyrnytsia Village
The “Khustska” sylianka is based on a traditional two-part necklace dating to the 1930s from Sokyrnytsia village in the Khust district of Transcarpathia. The contemporary handmade recreation follows a pattern by Vasyl Kotsan.
Its significance lies not only in its decorative appearance but also in the preservation of the historical design's distinctive features: an openwork upper section, elongated multicolored loops and carefully placed round bead accents.
By recreating these elements through hand bead weaving, the necklace connects traditional regional craftsmanship with jewelry that can be worn and appreciated today.
Traditional Transcarpathian Jewelry for Modern and Folk-Inspired Outfits
“Khustska” pairs beautifully with a traditional Ukrainian vyshyvanka, a white linen shirt or a folk-inspired outfit. Its colorful beadwork creates a striking accent and can complement embroidery featuring similar shades.
For contemporary styling, the sylianka can be worn with a minimalist white blouse, a simple dress with an open neckline or dark, understated clothing. Its vibrant palette makes it an expressive statement piece without the need for additional large accessories.
If you are looking to buy a handmade Ukrainian beaded sylianka with a connection to traditional Transcarpathian craftsmanship, “Khustska” is a distinctive choice for cultural celebrations, folk festivals, photoshoots and everyday outfits.
