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. Anyone and everyone who posseses a
sufficient amount of money enjoys the luxury of false, golden teeth.
