Pearl Altar Sacred Heart Bag Charm

This piece has been collected and now forms part of the Girdle of Venus Archive.

Hand embroidered cross bag charm with pearls and crystal details, made on plum velvet.

This piece is built around a silver-toned cross at the centre, covered in pearls and clear beads. Around it, I’ve stitched a mix of silver bugle beads and jewel-toned glass beads so it catches the light when it moves.

It’s smaller and quicker than some of my other pieces (around 6 hours), but still made in the same slow, detailed way.

You can clip it onto a bag or keys, or hang it up if you prefer.

This is a one-of-one piece. I don’t remake designs, so once it’s gone, it’s gone.
