A jeweler from Lukyanivka has put jewelry from the epicenter of the missile strike up for auction
During the Russian shelling of Kyiv on May 24, the “Kvadrat” shopping center near the Lukyanivska metro station sustained serious damage. Among those who lost their businesses was the owner of a small jewelry shop.
After the fire, only a few pieces remained from the jewelry collection, miraculously surviving the ruins. They are badly scorched by the fire, yet they have preserved their history.
For the owner, it was not just a loss of merchandise and equipment.
Along with the shop, a place that was part of her life disappeared—with its morning rituals, interactions with business neighbors, daily work, and the business she loved.
To support her mom after the tragedy, her daughter launched a small charity auction on the social media platform Threads called “The Unbreakable Ring.”
As part of the initiative, jewelry salvaged from the fire is being put up for sale.
The rules are simple:
- starting price — 100 hryvnias;
- the bid increment is 50 hryvnias;
- each auction lasts 24 hours;
- the lot goes to the bidder with the highest bid.
The organizers have deliberately chosen not to restore or clean the jewelry.
All items remain in the condition in which they were found after the shelling and fire.
According to the initiative’s organizers, these items now hold not only material but also symbolic value.
The scorched rings and other jewelry have become true witnesses to the war, human resilience, and the indomitable spirit of Ukrainians.
That is why the auction aims not only to help the family rebuild their lost business but also to preserve the memory of the events that changed the lives of many people.
Anyone interested can join the initiative, support the family, and receive a special item that has become a symbol of endurance and strength of spirit.
The shop owner wrote about this on Facebook.
During the nighttime shelling of Kyiv, a Russian missile was heading straight for the entrance of an apartment building in Vynogradar, but it did not reach its target and detonated after striking a high-voltage power line pole. The explosion damaged apartments and cars, but there were no fatalities.
As a result of another massive Russian airstrike on Kyiv on the night of June 2, 11 educational institutions in three districts of the capital were damaged.
