Silver Balinese Harmony Ball Necklace, "Sweet Breeze"

Spiraling sterling tendrils evoke the sweet sea breezes that caress the island of Bali. They cover a silver globe in this necklace from Sukartini. The petite pendant holds a hidden brass ball that makes sound. Also called "angel necklaces" and "harmony balls," Such necklaces are often worn by pregnant women in Bali and also in Mexico. Some wear them on a short chain as an amulet. Others prefer a chain that lets the pendant reach to the belly, as 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. 0.39 oz Chain length: 20" L Chain width: 2 mm Pendant: 1" L x 0.7" W x 0.7" D 925 sterling silver, brass Lobster claw clasp Combination finish Rolo chain Made in Indonesia.
