Happy Chime Silver and Black Enamel Harmony Ball Necklace with Onyx
Crowned with onyx, a sterling silver sphere hosts a sleek black enameled globe inside. It chimes like a small bell. Ketut Sulastri crafts the necklace by hand with polished sterling spheres along the silver chain.
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.
