The Love She Carries — Handmade Bag Jewelry

The Love She Carries is finished with a richly detailed Mexican corazón pendant—a symbol of a heart that has lived, loved, endured, and continued to remain open. The warm rose-toned beads, antique gold accents, and brilliant red heart create a piece that feels romantic without being delicate.

Handmade in Seattle and strung on durable cord, this piece of bag jewelry adds color, symbolism, and personality to a favorite handbag, tote, backpack, or key ring.

Material note

Until your supplier confirms the exact bead composition, I would use:

Rose-colored composite beads with a softly textured, glass-like finish.

That sounds accurate without making a claim you cannot verify yet. Once confirmed, you can replace it with the precise material.

Care

Avoid prolonged exposure to water, perfume, oils, and harsh cleaning products. Store flat or hang from the clasp when not in use.

Adornment for the things we carry—and for the love that continues to carry us.
