Korolevo village, Pidvynohradiv village, Zakarpattia region, Ukraine.Keldelari Roma Gypsies are some of the most orthodox in the Ukraine. They aim to preserve all their traditions and customs, right down to the very last detail, even in the clothes that they wear. Something that is specific to Keldelari Gypsies is their passion for gold. In particular, gold teeth are very popular amongst them and signify wealth and high status in the gypsy camps.
