Namysto (Busy, Korali) are one of the oldest forms of feminine ornaments in Ukraine. There is a long history of Ukrainian women wearing beaded jewelry, and the ways that namysto was worn has evolved through the centuries together with its styles, colours and materials used.
Namysto also symbolized the wealth status of the woman who wore it. Only the wealthy could afford 10-15 stings of korali, while majority of population made do with 2-3 strings. Various decorative elements would be added to increase the value and would depend of the region: zgardas (usually had crosses added), salbas (coin layered neck bib common in Bukovyna region) and dukach (necklace with a large coin and a bow; central and eastern Ukraine). Additionally, namysto could be made from various materials: amber beads, glass and pearl beads, small beads (biser) and most known coral beads (bright red beads symbolized woman’s health and beauty).
