jewelry by angels

Designed by Balinese artisan Nyoman Rena, this pendant necklace, displays a 2.5-carat gem of faceted blue topaz framed by openwork swirl patterns in sterling silver. This accessory circles the neck with sterling rolo chain.

Crowned with faceted blue topaz, a sterling silver sphere hosts a shining brass globe inside. It chimes like a small bell. From Sukartini, the handcrafted pendant is worn on a very 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.
