Handbag jewelry is the big trend at the start of 2025! We're seeing them everywhere, on catwalks and on the arms of influencers and fashion icons of all kinds. True fashion accessories, they can personalize and accessorize the simplest outfits, from everyday to evening wear. They're everywhere, with more or less pendants and gri-gri of all kinds!
For this model, I suggest mixing several styles and playing on the accumulation of pieces: a letter pendant personalized according to your first name or your desires, an acetate snake, a cute heart-shaped pretzel, your lucky number, a red pepper to spice things up... By playing with the mix of materials, shapes and colors, you'll create a jewel full of personality and character, just like you! I've chosen stainless steel parts to ensure that your bag jewel will last over time, without oxidizing or becoming damaged! Be careful, however, when handling stainless steel chain: being very thick, it can be tricky to cut. You'll need good pliers and perhaps a dose of patience...
The creation of this tutorial is accessible to beginners as well as the more experienced, and requires very little equipment. It takes just 10 minutes to complete! You can personalize it by choosing the charms or pendants of your choice from the wide selection we offer on our website.

Cut about 9cm of chain with wire cutters.
As the chain is thick and made of stainless steel, if you can't cut it with wire cutters, you can spread a link using flat-nose pliers and wire cutters.
Open a ring using flat-nose pliers and round-tipped pliers, then slip in the pretzel charm and round number charm.
Close the ring on the first link of the chain. Repeat the previous step and this one, attaching the snake to the 3rd link.
Hang a ring on the Ex-Voto heart pendant and attach it to the 6th link.
Open a ring using flat-nose pliers and round-tipped pliers, then slide in the two teddy bear pendants.
Hang the set on the 8th link of the chain. Do the same with the key pendant and the chili pendant, which you can hang from the 12th link.
Then attach the flower pendant to the last link.
Slide the balloon letter pendant of your choice into the key ring.
To finish, unscrew the heart clasp and slide on the key ring. Your bag jewel is finished!
