The listing, UNIQUE, ATTENTION-GETTING BOLA PENDANT!!! has ended.
**.BRAND NEW ~ .3 oz. of SOLID .925 STERLING SILVER! (.5 oz. with the ball inside)**
I took photos with a black background to show the actual color of the chime, but it really looks black once inside the cage. The chimes can also be purchased separately to enable you to change the color to anything you like.
This Stunning Pendant is the Hottest New Craze around the World, but Actually has a Long & Charming History-
Bola (Harmony Ball) Pendants have been used for centuries by pregnant women in Bali, Mexico, & the Celtic regions of the world. A Bola typically is made from sterling silver & contains a small sphere that emits very subtle, but audible, chimes with movement, not unlike the sound of tiny wind chimes in a very soft breeze.
They are generally worn on very long chains, cords, or ribbons, so that the pendant itself rests on the belly of the woman. From about 16 weeks into the pregnancy the unborn baby will hear the soft chimes coming from the Bola. The sound is said to soothe the unborn baby & can even have calming benefits for the mother-to-be!
Bola’s are often worn for a period of time after the birth of the child, with a shorter chain or cord, so that it can be played with by the child during feeding, or the soothing sound is heard as the mother gently rocks her baby to sleep. It is gently shaken next to the baby’s ear to calm & quiet them when fussy.The pendant is often passed from mother to daughter (or daughter-in-law),& becomes a treasured family heirloom.
Recently the Bola has become a very popular piece of fashion jewelry, & is no longer the sole domain of the pregnant woman - so many women in today’s hectic, fast-paced world enjoy the calming effect of the subtle, soothing chime sounds emanating from their gorgeous necklace , or indeed, their harmony ball bracelet. Start a new tradition, carry on and old one, or simply look fabulous & fashion forward!
GOOD LUCK & HAPPY BIDDING!!
