“Venetsiika” Blue Murano Glass Choker

The “Venetsiika” choker is a striking composition of deep cobalt-blue Murano glass, decorative Venetian-style beads, and delicate clear faceted glass elements. Different shapes, textures, and shades of glass give the necklace its distinctive character, while silver-tone details beautifully highlight the richness of the blue.

Venetian glass beads hold a special place in the history of Ukrainian women’s jewellery. Arriving in Ukrainian lands through European trade routes, colourful glass beads were prized for their vibrant hues, lustre, and craftsmanship. They were worn alongside coral necklaces, dukach pendants, and other traditional jewellery, while elaborate necklaces could also reflect the prosperity and social standing of their wearer.

The contemporary “Venetsiika” reinterprets this heritage in a modern statement piece. Wear it with a vyshyvanka for a heritage-inspired look or pair it with a crisp white shirt, minimalist dress, or blazer for contemporary styling.
