Nila Hordiichuk 

Beaded Jewelry

My name is Nila Hordiichuk. I am from Ukraine. I was born in 1983. I have a family, a husband and three wonderful sons.

As long as I can remember, I always liked to create things with my hands. It was beads and bead jewelry that I became interested in after the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

It was because of the war that I came to America with my family. We moved to Davis in 2024.

The jewelry I create is part of the traditional Ukrainian cultural heritage. 

For me, this is an opportunity to keep in touch with my Motherland. And it's also an opportunity to share a part of Ukrainian culture with Americans. This is my way of thanking you for your support and help to Ukraine.
