In South Africa, traditional Zulu beadwork designs relate to courtship and marriage. The combination and arrangement of colors can denote the marital status of a woman or it can be used as a system of identifying individuals who can be approached for courtship.

We’ve taken this idea and incorporated it into a handmade beaded key ring that makes a great personalized gift measuring approximately 2" x 2 1/4".

In the language of beads, red means, “My heart bleeds for you”.
