The Lovers’ necklace is a fully customizable piece made of a gold-dipped brass chain and as many charms as you would like to add to it. The charms are mostly made of brass stampings but the pearl is a real baroque pearl and the brilliant is a Bohemian crystal strass.

The base price of the Lovers necklace corresponds to the double chain alone. Each charm you add adds to the final price.

Pick as many charms as you wish to create your own narrative. Each piece is meant to evoke one aspect of a romance:

• The red flag: a warning
• The bell: if you felt like a "cloche" (bell in French means naive)
• The frame: if he/she was an artist
• The mussel: our symbol for a girls’ only love story
• The pearl: the one to choose if your lover is…a gem! 
• The duck: In French, to be "canard" (duck) means to be besotted and devoted to all your lovers' whims (this charm works both ways: you can be the besotted one)
• The sword: must be chosen if you are fighting a lot
• The diamond: refers to someone brilliant, smart
• The chess piece: evokes a failed relationship (in French, chess is « échec » which literally means failure)
• The cross with the rainbow strass: either a LGBTQIA+ charm or a religious one (and by extension a reference to a lover who was rather...conservative)
• The lifeline: if this person saved you (either metaphorically or literally)
• The frog: if your lover is French! Or if he turns out to be some kind of prince charming, going from ugly to handsome under your spell
• The hunting horn : if he/she is built like a god(dess). Definitely a body you can’t forget Or if he/she is a musician
• The rabbit : if you...f*** like rabbits
• The heart: well, for love

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!).

To help you choose your combination, here are some of our favorite ones:

• The chess + the diamond = a brilliant failure (we've all been there)
• The heart + the pearl = I found a gem
• The mussel + the lifeline + the rabbit = sleeping with girls saved my sex life
• The hunting horn + the cross = I used to date a right-wing musician (lol)
• The frog + the diamond = I'm in love with a very smart French person

Please note that the charms can't be bought alone unless you already own a Lovers necklace you would like to add to. If this is the case, please email us at hello@banglabegum.com.

"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 add more elements, and turn it into a little riddle? And in fact, why not let *everyone* make their own lovers' portraits? That's how the Lovers necklace was born!"
