A stunning crest of sterling silver is patterned with layers of intricate discs and beads of silver, with a beautiful cabochon of amethyst nestled at the center of the design.

A single sterling silver globe with unique patterns and a gorgeous oxidized finish is encapsulated by silver and calcite beads to form the pendant of this extraordinary necklace by India’s Shawn Martin.

A sterling silver teardrop with lacy openwork patterns hosts a sleek blue enameled globe inside. It chimes like a small bell. Ketut Sulastri crafts the necklace by hand with polished spheres of amazonite along the long 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.
