This handmade ceramic lamb pendant is glazed and shaped by hand, a small, tactile piece with real storytelling behind it.
Sheep and rams are a well-known symbol of the Carpathian Mountains, where sheep farming has been passed down through generations, and shepherd dynasties are common in the mountainous regions. Shepherds walk dozens of kilometers each day with their flocks, carrying folk knowledge, tradition, and a deep connection to the land — this pendant is a quiet nod to that heritage.
How to wear it: Wear it on the provided lace for a raw, natural feel, or swap the lace for a fine chain if you'd prefer something more polished — either way, it's a small, easy detail that adds warmth and character to a simple top or dress.

Handmade Ceramic Lamb Pendant – Baranets
Mariko is a Ukrainian brand dedicated to handmade jewelry, founded by artist Maryna Teslenko. With a background in ceramics, Maryna channels her skills into creating one-of-a-kind pieces that celebrate Ukrainian culture. Her collections are inspired by her travels across Ukraine, where she immerses herself in the traditions, rituals, and daily life of Ukrainians.
The collection presented at YIY-BO appeared in autumn 2022 after a transformative journey to the Ukrainian Carpathians. Captivated by the vast meadows, flocks of sheep, shepherd dogs, and the authentic warmth of the locals, Maryna infused each jewelry piece with the sounds, shapes, and spirit of this picturesque region. Each creation reflects the beauty, freedom, and enduring traditions of the Carpathians, bringing a piece of Ukraine’s cultural essence to life.
