“Once, the zhard was worn so that the whole village could see it. Now it is a lace rhythm of metal, in which the same Hutsul holiday sounds.”

The chest decoration “Zhardy 3” is an author’s work from the Mosyazhna workshop in Kosiv, where the ancient form of the Hutsul zhard has been translated into the language of light lace links. Melchior and brass work together here: the cold silvery tone emphasizes the warm golden one, and the decoration plays differently in the light depending on the angle. Each link is cut, engraved, and soldered by hand, so even within one model, two pieces are never completely identical.

Material and Manufacturing

The base of the decoration is a combination of melchior and brass. The work begins with marking and cutting the links, then the metal is engraved, and individual elements are joined by soldering with hard solders: such a seam is stronger than mechanical fastening and does not weaken over time. The process is completed by hand assembly — the master collects the links into a single composition, checking how the decoration will lie on the chest. The length can be adjusted, so “Zhardy 3” fits equally well under the collar of an embroidered shirt and on an open neckline of a dress.

Advantages of the Material

  • Lace lightness: links made of melchior and brass have a cut-out pattern, so the decoration looks voluminous but does not press on the neck.
  • Adjustable length: it can be easily adjusted to fit the neckline of a dress, embroidered shirt, or blouse without consulting a master.
  • Reliable connections: each link is soldered with hard solder, so they do not come apart even after years of wear.
  • Living metal without coating: the surface is not covered with galvanization, so there is nothing to wear off or peel.
  • Renewable shine: the natural darkening of brass can be removed in a few minutes with a regular coarse cloth.

Traditions and Modernity

The zhard is one of the oldest Hutsul chest decorations: cast brass crosses strung on a cord were worn by women at holidays, weddings, and church feasts, and the number of crosses indicated the family's wealth. Such a decoration was cherished, passed down to a daughter or granddaughter, and it became part of family memory. In “Zhardy 3,” the masters of the Mosyazhna workshop have reinterpreted this form: instead of a heavy row of crosses — a light lace rhythm of links, in which the old Hutsul plasticity is recognizable, but which also suits modern clothing.

Care

  • Wear the decoration only after applying perfumes, hair spray, and cream — this way, the metal retains its light tone longer.
  • After wearing, wipe the links with a dry soft cloth to remove traces of skin.
  • Keep “Zhardy 3” in a fabric pouch or separate box to prevent the lace elements from scratching against other decorations.
  • When the brass darkens, rub it with a piece of denim or felt, and the shine will return without chemicals.
  • Remove the decoration before showering, swimming, and exercising.
