This jewellery is a unique product of the Lemko ethnic minority of the Hutzul region, in Poland's south-eastern corner of the Carpathian mountain range. Krywulki is the name given to bead necklaces, which are made either on a tiny loom or with a needle, through meticulous and patient threading of 2-millimetre beads onto a strong piece of string. Before the war, rich young women would often wear versions up to 15 cm wide, which looked very much like collars. The less well-off were usually able to afford only one narrow piece, which they wore with an embroidered blouse and a corset.
