This handmade necklace combines luminous pearls, vibrant coral, and delicate gilded ceramic accents — a rich mix of texture and material that makes it a true statement piece.
The design draws on the cycles of light and shadow found in Ukrainian folklore and nature: pearls that glimmer like stars over the Carpathians, coral that carries the warmth of Ukrainian summers, and ceramic accents that reflect the timeless dance between day and night. Each element carries its own symbolic meaning — pearls represent purity, coral embodies vitality, and the ceramic celebrates traditional Ukrainian craftsmanship.
How to wear it: Let it be the one statement piece over a simple black dress or a plain white shirt — the mix of pearl, coral, and ceramic textures does the work, turning an otherwise ordinary outfit into something with real presence.

Handmade Pearl Coral Necklace – Eclipse Aura
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.
