No ordinary Easter-themed collection, this 9-piece capsule range features colourful, symbolically significant Easter Egg brooch designs inspired by the Ukrainian art form of ‘Pysanka’.

Dating back centuries, Pysanky are hand-decorated using beeswax and dyes, with motifs derived from Slavic folklore. Creating these precious eggs takes focus and attention to detail, but the results are stunning works of art that are traditionally given as gifts to family members and community leaders, with tradition dictating that designs are chosen to match the character of the person to whom the pysanka is to be given. This range serves to honour that tradition through meaningful wearable art, with designs representing hope, prosperity, love, wisdom, health, fertility and more – you’ll uncover the particular significance of each design below.

With the range derived from Ukrainian culture, we are also honoured to be able to use this range to once again support the Australia for UNHCR Ukraine Crisis Appeal. We’ve already donated $2,000 ahead of the launch, but we’ll also donate an additional $5 for each design sold from the collection within 48 hours of its release.
