This collection of scientific articles is dedicated to the bright memory of a very bright person - a scientist, archaeologist, a prominent researcher in the history of medieval jewelry, costume and jewelry of Eastern and Southeast Europe - Svetlana Stanislavovna Ryabtseva (1966-2019). Being both a Russian and Moldovan scientist, she occupied a unique place in science: her research became a kind of "bridge between East and West" - research in Eastern, Southeast and Central Europe. Svetlana Stanislavovna lived a short life, but left a good memory of herself.
