Zulu Beaded Heart Love Letter (3 left!)

Zulu Love Letters are African Beaded messages given by Zulu maidens to their lovers as symbols of their love and affection. Each bead color of the Zulu Love Letter conveys a different message. With this heart symbol, the white represents hope, purity, cleanliness and true love. Whilst the red is a symbol for intense love and longing.

This love letter has been hand-made by the rural woman of South Africa and can be worn as a brooch. It comes attached to a little card explaining the meaning of the colours. A perfect gift for the love of your life. Or even an unusual Valentine gift.
