{"product_id":"pokuttia-gerdan-replica-hrushka-village-necklace","title":"Gerdan \"Hrushka\"","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"399\"\u003eThis gerdan is recreated from an early 20th-century piece originating from the village of Hrushka, now part of the Tlumach community in the Pokuttia ethnographic region of western Ukraine. Its composition is built around a traditional geometric motif with a rhythmic sequence of yellow elements set against a soft blue background — a visual language characteristic of Pokuttia beadwork of that era.\u003cbr\u003eIn Ukrainian ornamental tradition, repeating patterns like these were more than decoration. They reflected harmony, continuity, and the connection between generations — a way of bringing order, balance, and memory into everyday life.\u003cbr\u003eThis replica was recreated using archival photographs and beadwork schemes from a collection of some of the oldest gerdans preserved by the Ivano-Frankivsk Regional Museum. \u003cstrong\u003eA Comely UA replica, faithfully recreated from a historical source.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e• Beaded part: 31.5 cm (12.40 in)\u003cbr\u003e• Width: 3 cm (1.18 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e• Czech seed beads\u003cbr\u003e• Durable nylon thread\u003cbr\u003e• Velvet ties\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSymbolism:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe geometric rhythm of this gerdan is rooted in repetition — one of the defining principles of Ukrainian ornamentation.
