Strings of beads

Beads harnesses are an integral part of Ukrainian folk culture. These fine and delicate ornaments are made by intricately weaving beads into various ornaments and patterns. Their history dates back hundreds of years, and they have always been considered a symbol of beauty and femininity. Harnesses were often used as a decoration on wedding and festive outfits, as well as as talismans against evil forces. Today, beaded plaits remain a popular element of Ukrainian national design, they are used as decorations in folk costumes, as well as as elegant accessories in modern clothing.
