It all started with a pearl! I wanted to make a necklace out of it, the portrait of a lover whose country of origin is associated with pearls. Then I thought, why not let *everyone* make their own lovers' portraits? That's how the Lovers necklace was born!

The Lovers necklace is made in Paris with a gold-dipped brass chain measuring 40cm (it can be adjusted upon request). Each charm is made of brass sourced in the EU and shaped and stamped near Paris. It is then gold or silver-dipped and in some cases, painted, in Paris too. Please contact us at hello@banglabegum.com if you would like to order another combination of 9 charms.
Each charm is meant to evoke one aspect of a love story:
The vase: to honor the first time he/she gave you flowers
The flowers: you bloomed
The snake: a taste for danger
The chess: a pun on the French word "échec" which means chess but also failure
The mussel: our symbol for a girls’ only love story
The pearl: your lover is a gem
The sword: you fight a lot
The diamond: refers to someone brilliant, smart
The cross: a reference to a lover who was rather conservative
The frog: your lover is French! Or if he/she turns out to be some kind of prince·ss charming, going from ugly to handsome under your spell
These meanings are subjective and we are open to all interpretations. Feel free to put your own mind (and heart) to our charms. And let us know your stories (if you feel like it, of course).
The Lovers necklace currently ships in 2 to 3 business days. We ship it worldwide. Shipping is free within the EU and our shipping fee for outside the EU includes duties and taxes.
