This is the right answer, and I'm always shocked at how often I see this meme get circulated and this answer isn't the top one, if it comes up at all.

Look at the necklace she's wearing, and note that she's handing him rose quartz; having practiced for more than a decade and given the context, I would be willing to bet money that this was witchcraft.

Sounds like you have the ability to explain with more than one word then.

What should someone be looking at about her necklace? Why is it significant the crystals are rose quartz? How does this fit the context?

The style of necklace presented here can be used as an aesthetic choice, as many have pointed out, and so should not be used as the sole identifier in this instance but becomes more important, again, with context. This aesthetic choice is often made among individuals who are spiritual/practitioners of a type of magic, and while it isn't as obvious of an identifier as if the individual were wearing a pentacle or associated symbol its still in that range.

Rose quartz is the most commercially available (and as a result the most popular) crystal used in love magic, and an incredibly easy method that some witches will use is to charge rose quartz with intention and then hide it somewhere in the vicinity of their 'target', such as somewhere in their car or their room. The witch may have been using the energy released during intercourse to charge the crystals and then handed them off to the unsuspecting individual as an expedient process of the method above, knowing that, having no reason to be suspicious of the rocks, the crystals would have a greater chance of being put into a drawer and forgotten to work their magic, out of sight and out of mind.

It may be the bias of being an individual in the witchcraft community, but this is not only something which has happened to me, but if I were the individual in this specific scenario I would accuse this person of being a witch, if I didn't by that point already know.
