Add traditional motifs to a modern look!
Traditional Russian jewelry isn't just about huge kokoshniks, heavy necklaces, and wide belts. Dig a little deeper and discover that many pieces are beautiful even with a modern eye.

In this book, you'll find:
- The history of beaded jewelry in Rus': what married women wore, what young women wore, and how traditions varied in different regions.
- A detailed section on selecting materials and tools: how to choose the right beads, threads, needles, and fittings.
- Secrets from a master with many years of experience that will simplify weaving: how to secure and extend thread, how to work with a pattern.
- 14 master classes in three weaving techniques and 13 additional patterns: historical jewelry and traditional motifs in modern designs.
Experience living history!
The book's author, Nadezhda Rudakova, has been recreating antique jewelry for almost 20 years and is confident that the beauty of these pieces, honed over centuries, never goes out of style.
