This ceramic flower pendant is entirely handmade and hand-painted, making every piece unique in shape, color, and surface. The glaze captures light softly, emphasizing both the tenderness of the material and its resilience.
At first glance, the flower appears delicate, almost childlike. Yet beneath its soft form lies a deeper reflection on fragility, endurance, and the cyclical nature of life. Flowers pierced by a bullet have become a recurring motif in artist Oleksandra's work since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine — a quiet reminder of how beauty and vulnerability coexist, especially in times of rupture.
How to wear it: Wear it close to the heart on the provided lace for a raw, intimate feel, or swap the lace for a fine chain for a more minimalist, contemporary look. It pairs especially well with simple garments, letting the piece speak for itself.

Ceramic Flower Pendant, Handmade – Flower of Memory
ASSHA is the boundless creative realm of Oleksandra Plavinska, a Ukrainian ceramic artist from Odesa celebrated for her expressive, functional sculptures. Her ceramic napkin holders, matchboxes, vases, and flower holders—everyday objects—transform simple interactions into rich storytelling moments.
Originally trained as a theatre and film artist, Oleksandra began her journey with painting, launched her own upcycling brand, and ultimately found her true passion in ceramics. The ASSHA world is populated by haunting eyes and faces that invite viewers into their mysteries, alongside landscapes and florals that communicate through vibrant colors and evocative forms. Oleksandra’s work explores the interplay between the human spirit and the external world, infusing profound meaning into deceptively simple, utilitarian forms.
