Jawan Embrace Modern Balinese Silver Sterling Harmony Ball Necklace
Diminutive silver granules known as jawan nestle beside sterling tendrils. They gently embrace a polished pendant in this exquisite long necklace from Sukartini. Inside is a hidden brass sphere that chimes.
Also called ‘angel necklaces’ and ‘harmony balls,’ Such necklaces are often worn by pregnant women in Bali and also in Mexico. The chain lets the pendant reach to the belly and the delicate sounds are thought to soothe the mother and the baby she is carrying. Some believe it summons a guardian angel, thus making it a symbol of loving protection.
