Jewelry occupied a leading place in Ukrainian traditional costume. Women often adorned their ensembles with a Dukach - a striking accessory in the form of a large coin-shaped medal with a metal bow embellished with gemstones. The Dukach is an ancient Ukrainian festive metal ornament that is gaining popularity today, serving as a prototype for chokers. The focal point of this adornment is the medallion (coin, heart), typically accompanied by additional jewelry elements such as bows, plaster, and more. Dukachs featured a variety of medallions including round coins, tokens, Western European religious table medals, military awards, and much more. Acting as a female amulet, the Dukach was passed down through generations, embodying tradition and charm. The "Bant" dukach is a traditional Ukrainian jewelry. Material: metal, inlay: red beads, velvet ribbon. Worn both with a necklace and as a separate element.
